TWDbot enhancement

Description

Every time a player goes to pm TWDbot with !register the bot responds back with the following:

"Have you verified that you currently have no other names registered? If you do have any other names registered and have a sibling then you must contact a TWD op BEFORE you register a new name. If you're sure that you completely understand the rules of TWD and aren't violating any of them by registering this name, then respond back with "Yes""

And when the player responds back with "Yes" it does all the same checks it normally does now, the force !register command that TWD ops issue to the bot would still do the same thing, force register them regardless of whether another name matches MID/IP. I'd like it so that the TWD op doesn't need to respond back with "Yes" after they do !register <name> as well.

  • priority set to highest.
  • status changed from new to closed.
  • resolution set to fixed.

I'm wondering if this is now necessary, considering that now an IP OR MID match will disallow TWD registration?

I didn't add the "yes" part, because of the rarity that such a thing would ever be necessary considering the new alias rules. I did add in a warning message about how only one account is allowed to be registered per household without prior staff approval, and that any additionals need approval. But, again, if the "sibling" has neither the IP or MID of dear "brother" or "sister" … chances are the individual is a) not the sibling, but the same person just trying to spoof; and b) definitely not going to tell anyone anyhow.

Of course it could just be a dynamic IP + different computer not connected to a router so as to give a different MID … but that would be a pretty bizarre situation anyhow.

Let me know if we should still implement the yes. I'll need a good reason, though. :>

What's the exact message now?

Whoops! Tried to post this anonymously (accidentally) and the spam filter caught me for some reason! Guess it works. Here's the msg:

REGISTRATION SUCCESSFUL

NOTE: Only one name per household is allowed to be registered with TWD staff approval. If you have family members that also play, you must register manually with staff (type ?help <msg>).

Holding two or more name registrations in one household without staff approval may result in the disabling of one or all names registered.
