Don't run bots in #linux

Not only does #Linux oppose the whole notion of bots on IRC (because they're generally a waste of bandwidth offering no extra advantages for general usage), we are also not very likely to provide you with any help getting these to run. If your only interest in Linux and other UN*X-like operating systems is running a ``bot'' then please feel free to ask your questions elsewhere.

To aid us in dealing with you lot, we did add a bot to the channel though. I won't tell you its name, I'll leave that for you to find out. It does not accept any commands, trying to make it respond with public '!ping', '!seen', '!op' or otherwise botlike commands will result in a fast exit from #linux. Occasionally, a channel operator might decide to check the presence of an unauthorised bot in channel, using common commands like the ones above. If you're unlucky enough to have an IRC client or script that will respond to e.g. a !ping then you're likely to get kicked.
