Script Bans

So I'm aware that the majority, if not all, of the sops/hops/ops in #spp and #spp-wifi ban using scripts. This is understandable because not all of them can be around at the same time.

||01.08.59|| * You were kicked from #spp by Dratini927--out-- («««« No Action Replay Discussion (5 mins) Kick Number 134758 »»»»)

^ But things like this could happen too. "Accidental bans," as I'll be calling them. See, I'm not bawwwwing about this ban because it's only 5 minutes. I'm actually not bawwwing at all. I'm simply making a suggestion; if you don't want to take it, that's totally fine.

So what if someone accidentally makes a typo and says "ar" instead of "art?" They'll be banned for it because the script thinks that you're talking about Action Replays when you're not. Perhaps the script could be changed slightly so that if it is in fact a typo, the person has a chance to change it instead of being kicked & banned for five minutes.

At any rate, this is just a suggestion. If you don't want to take it into consideration, I'm totally fine with that. Just remember that it's a suggestion and that I'm not bawwwwwing over a 5 minute #spp chat ban.
 
I agree completely. This is a major issue about typos.

Here's another, stating that the Lum Berry is the 9th berry in the Berry Dex:

The scripts are there for a reason, to keep problematic goobers out. Anyone should know that scripts can't be perfect. They can't detect typos or mistakes, and they can't tell when someone doesn't know what sets off scripts.

If an active op sees chances are they'll unban for a mistake ban, and if they don't you have full right to PM an op and tell them what happened.
 
..They're called scripts for a reason Felly lol. You can't make a script "bypass" words, because that'd defeat the whole purpose of having a script in the first place lol.
 
Well, I apologize for asking such a stupid question, Mattini. I don't exactly use scripts very often, and if I do, they're aliases. Sorry I don't script for a living. All I asked was a simple question. There's no need to treat me like an idiot.

Anyways, I can see that there's no way to update the script so that there's no ban for simple typos and whatnot so that this doesn't happen again. This thread has served it's purpose, so it can be closed or left to die or whatever. I could careless~.

That happened to me. When we were chatting about Bionicle (the one thing I like as much as Pokemon), I accidentally typed "ar" instead of "are" and got kicked. By the time I got back, everyone had moved on!
 
People have been complaining about script bans since 5-6 years ago (before most of you were born probably). If nothing came out of those complaints back then, what do you think will happen now?

The main reason #SPP uses script bans is so we can all laugh at people when they're banned for making typos like yourself. Get used to it because it'll never be fixed. ^________^

I wasn't trying to make you seem like an idiot lol. I was just being blunt about it.

Also, I have had complaints about the "ar" script before as well, and I'm thinking of just removing it anyways.
