View source for SpamBeGone

SpamBeGone was an IRC bot primarily developed by [[Chew]] under [[Chewbotcca]] for [[ChewChat]]. It was inspired by [https://github.com/Libera-Chat/Sigyn Sigyn], an IRC bot developed originally for the Freenode (now Libera) IRC network.<ref>[https://github.com/Chewbotcca/SpamBeGone/blob/master/README.md README.md file for Chewbotcca/SpamBeGone on GitHub]</ref> Development lasted 2 days (February 8th and 9th, 2018) before promptly being unused once ChewChat was deprecated.

== Features ==

All logic existed in the <code>main.rb</code> plugin. The bot would listen for all messages in a channel and, once one was sent, it would grab the existing users in the channel, then see how many words in the message matched a user. This is because most IRC clients would notify the user on any invocation of the name. If there were more than 2 mentions, the user was promptly KILLed off the network. There was supposedly a configuration to either K-Line (local ban) or G-Line (global ban) users off the network, but this never came to fruition.

== History ==

The bot's initial files were all committed on February 8th, 2018, each as an individual commit.<ref>[https://github.com/Chewbotcca/SpamBeGone/commits/master Commit history for Chewbotcca/SpamBeGone on GitHub]</ref> February 9th, 2018 was the first and only day of development, with the last commit, "Actually kill the user"<ref>{{Cite GitHub commit |title=Actually kill the user |org=Chewbotcca |repo=SpamBeGone |author=Chew |commit=ddf9106 |date=February 9, 2018}}</ref>, slightly over 24 hours after the first commit. On May 27, 2020, the repository on GitHub was officially archived.
