What is a bot?

A bot is a program that looks like an opped user while on IRC. It connects just like a user would. The bots help the owner to run their channels in various ways. They make shortcut commands available and can be set to monitor things such as language, excess use of capital letters, flooding, etc. They will kick to warn the user to stop and then ban if the behavior is repeated. Our services bot (X) is available to any channel owner free of charge. They will enter the channel whenever the first user does and not leave until the channel is empty.
