I made a bot that specifically bans Fallout 4 spoilers
Not really much to explain here, but I actually password recovered my old chat bot (http://twitch.tv/itakubot) and wrote 15 lines of code for it. For about a week I'll run this, and it only does one thing, bans Fallout 4 spoilers in chat.
It will be super sensitive and will instantly ban anyone that hits the keywords for any major spoilers from Fallout 4. I'll update it as I learn more spoilers about the game. I won't go into exactly how it matches, even though it will probably be figured out.
To use it, http://twitch.tv/itakubot and type !join, and mod it in your channel obviously.
When the bot bans anyone it will post the VaultTec emote in chat afterwards, so you know it was the bot that banned it and you shouldn't click the text to view it.
If it bans someone that was a false positive, unban them. I think we can all agree it's better to be over careful than have something major spoiled.
If you don't want it banning people in your chat anymore, unmod it or ban it. This only has one purpose right now, and it's for this. It will only work if it's modded, so that's essentially it's disable switch. Unmod it to turn it off, mod it to turn it on.
I'll monitor the hits and adjust accordingly. Will take this down probably next weekend.
Some background/relevant info behind "itakubot":
This used to be a somewhat decent chat bot years ago, specifically for its lightweight-ness and custom commands. With the rise of other bots like moobot and nightbot, and knowing if I wanted to keep up with the growth of Twitch I'd have to recode it from the ground up I abandoned the project and shut it down. At the time it was EXTREMELY resource intensive, because I code at a kindergarten level and it was really messy. It crashed a lot.
It's possible this will crash. If it does, you'll have to make it rejoin your channel, I'm not recoding/reusing my old auto rejoin code. I'm running this on my personal computer, but, I won't be playing Fallout on it, or barely using it since I'm leaving for a trip this week. It crashing is possible, if it does crash, I'll TeamViewer and get it back up, but this isn't running on some dedicated server like it should be, it's running on my personal computer.
