hi
Wad Cheber
Wad Cheber
Apparently the new user has a rep for spamming bots, which gave me the idea to ask you if you'd give me, Praxis, and Slyth power to shut Gideon down if need be.
I don't want to be able to change Gideon, just put him to sleep.
KutuluMike
KutuluMike
it's gonna be hard to shut him down because it'll restart.
Wad Cheber
Wad Cheber
Oh.
KutuluMike
KutuluMike
i can give you access to ban users
Wad Cheber
Wad Cheber

That would be cool.
KutuluMike
KutuluMike
i think praxis and sly might already have it but I will check.
Wad Cheber

The mods can boot him, but we can only kickmute for a minute at a time.
KutuluMike
KutuluMike
if you kickmute him he may actually die.
it may crash the chatexchange connection
Wad Cheber
Wad Cheber
Hmm.
Interesting.
KutuluMike
KutuluMike
but again, he's got a restart thing that sometimes works and sometimes doesn't
but i can give you access to ban users and to disable modules, that should be enough to kill any abuse.
Wad Cheber

That'd be cool. I don't know enough about it to know whether the mods need the same access.
I guess it would make sense, though, if they don't already have it.
KutuluMike
KutuluMike
they probably should.
i asked before but none of the active mods cared.
you can also kickmute the user doing the abuse :)
Wad Cheber
Wad Cheber
Yeah, and Rand told us to be ready to do so, but I'd rather do the least damage possible.
KutuluMike
KutuluMike
there's two levels of access, lemme see what you need.
Wad Cheber
Wad Cheber
I know that people are quick to scream "abuse of power", but bots aren't.
KutuluMike
KutuluMike
you have access to all the admin commands but some of them are flaky, so please don't run anything you don't recognize.
I need to add more than just one level of security to the stupid thing.

I don't know them anyway, so I'll just stick with "disable". Thanks!
