This thread will help to explain the inner workings of Littlebot and what to expect in the coming weeks.

This long awaited feature is being implemented with the use of LittleBot, whom many of you may already know through other features recently implemented on various public channels, namely, automated kicking of spammers. For those unaware, LittleBot is a program that has been coded specifically to automate these tasks.

Autoban is a channel specific setting that prompts LittleBot to scan every game for disconnects, leaves, and afks. It then proceeds to look up the recent game history of these players, and if the number of spoiled games exceeds a certain threshold, these players are banned for a duration of up to ten days.



A few points worth mentioning; Firstly, LittleBot considers disconnecting as bad an offense as leaving which should come as no surprise, otherwise these spoilers would simply learn to unplug their connections once leavers alone are being banned. This should not affect legitimate players who happened to have disconnected. Secondly, because LittleBot effectively detects all disconnects, it will no longer be required to post ban requests regarding such matters. The upcoming threads or the ones recently posted will not be ignored , but they will be closed with an explanation just in case the reporter didn't read this thread.

If you have any questions, please post them below and we will get to you as soon as possible.

RGC Staff.
