After using AW for less than 2 weeks, the differences between it and
Internet Relay Chat have become painfully obvious. Most notably is the
lack of a command line for typing out commands such as Mute so wildcards
could be used. Hanging around AWGate as I do I see every troublemaker
who has yet to make some other point their default for arrival within AW
and yearn for the ability to Mute these people with something like
/ignore *!* at dialup.isp.net and am highly discouarged that all I have to
ignore them with is /ignore nickname at *.* All the Mute feature in its
current config does is make it nesscessary for the abusive user to
switch nicks. Something any tourist can do in 10 secs.
One such user goes by the nick of "Preston" among others and has been
a thorn in my side since he attracted my attention yesterday by taking
the nicks of GKs, Members, and other tourists. He even boasts about how
many times he's be Ejected from the Gate and/or other Worlds. Obviously
something needs to be fixed in how Mute and the Eject command work.
I dunno diddly about programming, but can't imagine it's that hard a
thing to do. Ask Khaled for help if ya need to (heh) but resolve this
matter post haste or I for one will soon have no hair left upon my head
from all the pulling out I do in frustration that real troublemakers can
skirt around mutes and bans with wild abandon.
