Yeah I thought it would actually be best to have all the bot restart and SMF code change info in one topic so it's easier to find. We only have two minor code changes, but losing track of them would make it very hard to upgrade in the future. And knowing how to restart the bots would be nice since sometimes Omninet and EFnet crap themselves out, causing most bots to disconnect.

Juju: Fix, pl0x.

This is actually the expected behavior. You posted 4 URLs in the same line, it posted 4 times the title. Although the titles for the Facebook and Twitter pages shouldn't probably say "Login"...

EDIT: Well, stupid me. It was actually a bug. It's fixed now.

EDIT2: Wait, nope. This is pretty weird.

To be honest I don't like this feature much if it's gonna spam everytime we post URLs. Youtube, Cemetech, CW (perhaps Omni too if they ever get rid of PrettyURL for new topics) and some other page link descriptions are fine but I think it should either just detect the first link or put the description in one line. Not to mention when many links are posted this will become a mess anyway.

u/Yuki December 25, 2014, 12:05:40 AM

Well I can always limit it to the first link if it's too annoying.

u/Dream of Omnimaga December 25, 2014, 01:39:47 AM

The other idea would be to make it so it merges 2-4 descriptions at a time into one line (depending of how long they are).

Also we need a way to get the staff to use IRC more because right now they are very active on Telegram but not IRC. Either find an OmnomIRC alternative, such as modifying SimplePortal shoutbox then making a bot to relay IRC to the site and vice-versa, port SAX to SMF (independent from #cemetech of course, so that we can use our own rules) or find a way to get rid of ISP-specific Omnom lag (which isn't likely, seeing as even Omnimaga has lag too, from time to time).

Or we could get a bot to relay the Telegram channel to IRC, if that's not against Telegram rules, and encourage staff to use the staff board for site issues. The latter option would also show post notifications on Telegram, which might give Street some incentive to post on weekends instead of spending 24 hours straight customizing one of his 79 tablets and phones.

Hmmm btw, I thought about posting this : I can't filter yukibot highlights like I do with new in #omnimaga because I'm on freenode and muting her highlights means muting every highlight coming from omnom/efnet/omninet. It'd be cool to make omnom not relay her messages and have her post on each network instead.

u/Dream of Omnimaga December 26, 2014, 12:55:44 AM

Personally I'm against disallowing post notifications on OmnomIRC. If we get a working shoutbox at one point this would defeat the point of having post notifications in the first place, as most of our users would use OmnomIRC, and it would reduce activity a lot.

What I think is that we should probably find a way to make Omnom not highlight when Yukibot posts or make it so that it intentionally misspells everyone's nickname (eg S t r e e t w a l r u s instead of Streetwalrus).

I don't want to hurt CW activity just because one person is annoyed that the bot highlights him.

That said, I think the URL title feature should be put in a separate bot, though, so we can ignore both features separately.

u/novenary December 29, 2014, 08:55:57 PM

I meant relaying across networks, not on the shoutbox.

u/Dream of Omnimaga December 30, 2014, 06:08:01 AM

Ok but I would still like post notifications to show up everywhere.

u/novenary December 30, 2014, 07:56:09 PM

I think you misunderstood me. I said that yukibot should handle cross network herself instead of relying on omnom for that.

u/Dream of Omnimaga December 31, 2014, 05:10:42 AM

Oh ok, I thought you wanted post notifications on on OmnomIRC removed entirely

(that's what the OmnomIRC /ignore command is for)

u/Dream of Omnimaga March 10, 2015, 06:29:17 PM

Do you know when this bot will be back up on IRC? I don't know if Withg ZNC services will ever come back so it might be wise to move the bot elsewhere
