The primary channel in secops is now +R. New users may not be immediately aware that they need to register in order to join the channel. Bitbot should have a module that checks a user's registration status and prompts them to register in order to join #main (or any official channels)
This trigger should send under the following circumstances:
- Within 60 seconds after a new nick connects that is not in NickServ
- Never if a nick connects that is already in NickServ.
- Never if a user is logged into NickServ
Because the trigger could be potentially blocking, the timer should be fired off as a goroutine.
go registrationReminder(irc, msg)This goroutine would handle the waiting period before the user is reminded to register in order to join #main
Status checks would be performed by querying Nickserv for status.
status-code is one of the following:
0 - no such user online or nickname not registered
1 - user not recognized as nickname's owner
2 - user recognized as owner via access list only
3 - user recognized as owner via password identification
Reminders should be sent for a status 0 only.
For the sake of testability, reminders and status checks should be handled in discrete functions outside of the trigger.
