I wanted to open up an on-wiki discussion regarding some ongoing problems plaguing #wikia-sims, [[The Sims Wiki:IRC Channel|The Sims Wiki's IRC channel]], in the hopes of devising some solution to the problems.
Line 68:
:::A trial run wouldn't hurt, I'm all for it. [[User:Beds|<font color="#6B1D51">'''Beds'''</font>]] <sup>([[User_talk:Beds|<font color="#512d17">'''talk'''</font>]] - [[User_blog:Beds|<font color="#512d17">'''blog'''</font>]])</sup> 00:02, December 27, 2014 (UTC)
::::I'm fine with adding a bot. From an auth perspective I'd probably assume it would have +Aeiorv or something simply because all other non-admin ops have this, but this is all just theory at this point. {{WHsig|01:37, December 27, 2014 (UTC)}}

Overall consensus indicates that users are fine with a bot. Who shall run it? When will the trial run start? [[User:Auror Andrachome|Ѧüя◎ґ]] ([[User talk:Auror Andrachome|talk]]) 22:40, January 31, 2015 (UTC)
:I volunteer to do this, because I have experience doing it. Not sure how Delta could do it, but perhaps {{U|Xd1358}} can weigh in or I can ask him how it'd work on IRC. The bot is already in the channel and most of the framework is there. All I'd have to do on my end is load a script and do a little bit of configuring.
:The bot would most likely need the +AOeiorv flags, which you will note is similar to what ops (who are not Admins/Bureaucrats on the wiki) have with the addition of +O. This is due to the expectation the bot will be opped at all hours, as it must be in order to perform this function.
:To recap, my bot:
:- Sets temporary bans that are removed after a time (so as not to fill the ban list).
:- If another op removes such a ban, the ban will not be reapplied immediately (unless of course the same offender comes back and does the bad behavior again).
:- False positives in my experience are very rare.
:- It will only take automatic action on flooding. It will not ban based on anything else. This is consistent with my belief that everything else depends on context.
:- The bot doesn't take action against opped or voiced users.
:- It's often possible to exempt other users from the bot's behavior. In practice this would only be used for ops who don't remain opped at all times, and possibly for folks who used to hold a position of trust before (channel op, admin, etc.).
:Another thought is this. Even if at some future date the bot can no longer be operated, the owner of any replacement bot should hold some sort of operator status, because otherwise the owner would be granted operator status by proxy through the bot.
:No idea when a trial run may start though.

::Ben seems to know what he's doing, considering his vast knowledge with IRC and how to run a bot. I see no problem in having him partake in running the bot.
