Bots on IRC4Fun
On IRC4Fun, users and the network itself can use "nice" bots — in compliance with the Acceptable Use Policy (AUP) and run on servers which allow bots. Check each server's /MOTD to see their bot policy.
Bots which are not considered "nice" (DoS/Botnet/Flood/Spam/Mass-messaging bots) are not allowed on any IRC4Fun server.
Types of Bots
- Regular Bots — Bots run by users or channels for their own purposes.
- Stats Bots — OPT-IN bots that collect stats for IRC search engine indexes. They do not join channels.
- IRC4Fun Bots:
- Helper Bots — Provide useful functions for users and channel operators (e.g., Oracle)
- Utility Bots — Protect the network from spam and abuse (e.g., Countess, ozone)
- Service Bots — Official IRC Services (ChanServ, NickServ, MemoServ, BotServ, HostServ, OperServ)
Can I register my bot?
Yes! Register with NickServ through your bot, then register with IRC4Fun staff to get a bots/ cloak.
