Karma Tracking IRC Bot?

Just putting my opinion out there: Why don't we test out a bot that does karma like the cemetech bot, but with a 30 second delay on incrementing the same person twice. See how that goes for a while and go from there!

I'm late to reply to this, but since you posted this @Unicorn , I sometimes checked Cemetech on mobile and half of the time I saw someone abusing DecBot during several minutes until the bot or someone else told them to stop, and that happened multiple times with different people. 30 seconds would not be anywhere enough to stop spam and abuse. It would need to be a 24 hours auto-ignore like RunerBot when people spammed bot commands.

Maybe this bot only increments your karma if you're logged in from CodeWalrus on an account. The same person can't increment themselves, one person can't add more than one karma at a time, and one person can't increase another's karma within an hour or something like that.

That could work if the bot is programmed to be linked to this SMF install. That might be difficult to implement, though.
