Matchbots spamming

Reported by: H.M.S. Stargazer Assigned to: nobody
Priority: normal Component: Bots - TWD/TWL
Version: Latest version from repository Severity: trivial
Keywords: Cc:

Description

Make the matchbots only accept the input from one person !challenge squad:# twice in 3-5 minutes. There is no reason to let people do it more than that. It would cut back on the amount of spam. Everyone wins!

1:MMaverick> don't see the problem, stargazer
1:MMaverick> are there players doing !challenge over and over?
1:H.M.S. Stargazer> always
1:H.M.S. Stargazer> we get cheaters from it
1:H.M.S. Stargazer> its an ez preventive measure
1:H.M.S. Stargazer> that makes the game better for all
1:MMaverick> not really easy, the bot has to be modified to not handle one certain command (!challenge) from a specific player for a specific amount of time
1:H.M.S. Stargazer> :P
1:H.M.S. Stargazer> well then discuss with the othe smods :P
1:H.M.S. Stargazer> we the mods were discussing it last night :P
1:MMaverick> it's a good improvement, it's not just so easy to do :p
1:MMaverick> !challenge is available on each Matchbot, right?
1:H.M.S. Stargazer> yes
1:MMaverick> ah ok

If anyone can do this in a clean way, be my guest :)

If this didn't have the "twice in 3-5 minutes" caveat it would be much, much easier to implement. How about allowing it once a minute, or once every 90 seconds? Then all that's needed is a mapping from the player name to the last time they challenged. Would use either a loose map to removes unused entries, or have a task that runs once every 30 min or so to check for outdated entries so as not to eat up memory.

if you let players to do just one !challenge in a minute, it would affect the ones that only challenges multiple squads. the block should affect challenging same squad in a row in defined time… somekind of a timed tablehandler should be made containing the player challenging and squads challenged.
