Description Ken Rushia 2009-06-13 07:36:42 UTC
The robot Willikins is extremely vulgar and offensive to users.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.join a gentoo channel on freenode
2.wait for someone to use !lart (perhaps other methods)
3.

Actual Results:  
* Willikins farts in user's general direction
* Willikins replaces user's hypertension pills with rat poison pellets
* Willikins pierces user's nose with a rusty paper hole puncher
* Willikins donkey punches user
* Willikins lets Borg have his way with user
...

Expected Results:  
* Willikins treats all visitors with respect

Other robots and people have been banned from channels for saying such things. Halcy0n was particularly upset over such verbal abuse in the recent past. I see no reason for Willikins to be an exception to the rule. Either perform a lobotomy or ban Willikins to protect users from indecency.

Ken, 
While we understand the sensitive nature of some users is there any backing of this from the team lead in the amd64 project? Banning clearly can be handled on a per channel admin basis. 


robbat2: can the extra/non-tech commands be turned on/off on a per channel basis?

Willikins provides useful functionality.  If you are offended by it then please use your clients ignore functionality or leave the channel.

lart module is disabled now.
Willikins is meant to be strictly services, not backchat.
