I contradicted myself how? You aren\'t making sense. Also: whether you like it or not, people WILL use bots for channel management. Even on networks with some type of channel registration, if channel registration has requirements (see Quakenet, Undernet, etc), people who don\'t meet those requirements will use a bot, or more than one, to manage the channel. It\'s their right to do that. And I still hold you should tell people this is insecure, or use a more secure way of identifying who gets access to the bot. Because there WILL be people who know next to nothing about scripting, and just copy the code in their remotes and end up with an insecure bot.
