Bots

This page describes the bots that are officially recognized by the #anime ops.

ImoutoBot
This is Nanobot's bot. It was entirely custom-written in PHP (and yet somehow the world hasn't ended) and has direct access to Nanobot's personal anime database, which it uses for the anime lookups.

Commands

 * !a anime title  : Look up information about a particular anime, including when the next episode is expected. Example: "!a re zero"
 * !addquote  nick   quote  : Record a funny or memorable quote the person said. Whenever the person rejoins the channel, they will be welcomed with one of these quotes. Examples: "!addquote A fleshlight is still a 3D object, and thus inherently disgusting." or "!addquote beaky what anime has the most barefoot women"
 * !delquote nick  number  : Remove a quote from a user's list. Use this ONLY with consent from the user, or to correct a mistaken !addquote. The number refers to its position within the user's quote list. Note that removing quote 2 causes the previous quote 3 to become the new quote 2, etc. Example: "!delquote mathu 3"
 * !quote  nick   number?  : Display a quote in a user's list. If a number is provided, it will show the quote in that position within the user's quote list. If no number is provided, it will instead select a random quote from the user. Examples: "!quote Nanobot 4" or "!quote davic"
 * !aotw  anime title  : Set your choice for anime of the week. Every week, the channel topic is updated to the choice of the next active user alphabetically. Your choice MUST be a legitimate non-hentai anime or else you will be skipped over. Try to pick something you like that most people haven't seen. Example: "!aotw Asatte no Houkou"
 * !motw  manga title  : Same as !aotw, but for manga of the week. Example: "!motw Unbalance School Life"
 * !seen  nick  : Displays the time and message of the last thing the user said in the channel. Example: "!seen warsh"
 * !memo  nick   message  : Leave a message for someone. The next time they are active in the channel, ImoutoBot will privately tell them the message you left, and how long ago it was. Example: "!memo amigojapan I need help deciphering some moon runes!"

Passive Services

 * Welcomes users with quotes when they join.
 * Announces new episodes for currently-airing anime series.
 * Delivers memos.
 * Updates the topic on a weekly basis to rotate the AOTW and MOTW selections.

Suzuka
This is davic's bot. It provides ops with tools to moderate the channel, along with other features.

Commands

 * _g  search terms  : Search for websites using DuckDuckGo. Example: "_g light novel title generator"

Passive Services

 * Emphasizes NSFW labels.
 * Automatically quiets users who appear to be spamming/flooding.
