Introduction

If you are on Battle.net and you see a Winters Bot, you can use the commands on this page to make it do things for you.

Status

Winters remembers one of five status values for each person it sees, and gives each person certain priviledges based on his or her status:

Status Who might typically have it Priviledges
Master Bot owner, clan leader, highest-ranking lieutenants, etc Operator priviledges plus promote, demote
Operator Clan members (small clan) or high-ranking members (big clan) Regular priviledges plus kick, designate, ban, unban; not kickable
Regular Friendly non-members (small clan) or rank-and-file members (big clan) May use otherwise-prohibited products in the channel; not bannable
Guest Default status for unknown people May sit in channel and talk
Banned Lamers who offend an operator or try to take over; clan enemies None; auto-banned on join

Say commands

To give a 'say' command, just say the command in the channel.  These commands always begin with '!' (such as '!seen bb-robocop').

Command, Examples What it does
!seen <nick>

!seen bb-robocop

Prints the primary nick of <nick>, and how long ago he or she joined, left or talked.
!allseen Prints the last 10 people seen, and their primary nicks.
!whois <nick>

!whois bb-robocop

Prints the primary nick and all other nicks used by <nick>, plus the status level and account number.
!operators Prints the primary nicks of all the operators, in the order in which they were last seen.
!regulars Prints the primary nicks of all the regulars, in the order in which they were last seen.
!server Prints the address of the server the bot is using.  Useful if battle.net is going crazy and you need to find a stable server.
!who Lists everyone that the bot can currently see.  Useful during server splits.
!say <text>

!say can you hear this?

Allows you to talk via the bot.  Useful during server splits.
!tagban Reports all currently active tagbans

Whisper commands

These are the 'whisper' commands.  To issue these, you have to whisper the command to the bot (such as '/whisper SuperBot help'). 

Command, Examples What it does
mail <nick> <msg>

mail bb-robocop yo dude!

Sends botmail to the given user.  Mail is delivered when the recipient next joins the channel.
iam <nick>

iam bb-robocop

Sets your primary nick.  It must be a nick that Winters has seen you use before (use !whois to see them).  If Winters is confused about who you are, use the iam command to "remind" it of one or more of your other nicks.
notmynick <nick>

notmynick robocop2

Removes a nick from your list of nicks.
about Gives version and website information about Winters.
help Prints a list of commands.
help2 Prints even more commands.

Operator commands

You must be an operator to use these commands.  Except for !meeting, you must whisper these to the bot.

Command, Examples What it does
kick <nick> [<reason>]

kick grond you lamer!

Kicks <nick> out of the channel, unless <nick> is an operator.  If given, the reason appears in the kick.
designate [<nick>]

 

designate

designate bb-robocop

Designates the given nick (or yourself if no nick is given) as the successor to Winters should he lose the gavel.
ban <nick> [<reason>]

ban LaMeR go away!!

If the given nick's status is Guest, sets the status to Banned, and bans him/her from the channel.  If given, the reason is included in the ban command, will be used in subsequent bans if the user ever joins the channel again.
unban [<nick>]

unban

unban LaMeR

If no nick is given, and the speaker is a regular or above, unbans the speaker (this is useful if you are using chat and find that you are banned from the channel -- see the FAQs below).  If a nick is given, and the given nick's status is Banned, sets the status to Guest, and removes the ban.
killuser <nick>

killuser fred

If the nick's status is Guest, completely removes the user's entry from the database.   This is useful if someone has a tagbanned nick in his/her database entry.
!meeting Starts a private meeting of channel operators.  Everyone else in the channel is kicked out.  To end the meeting, type !meeting.  The meeting will automatically end after five minutes.

Master commands

You must be a bot master to use these commands.   Whisper them to the bot.

Command, Examples What it does
promote <nick>

promote bb-metavark

Increases the nick's status by one level.
demote <nick>

demote bb-metavark

Decreases the nick's status by one level.
resign Makes Winters resign as gavel holder.
reload Read the database in from disk (useful after editing by hand)
shutdown Terminates the bot program.
