WotNotBot

There is a lot of annoying bots that enter channels then message you with some nonsense in a bit to get you to download a virus. What this script does is gives them a swift kick, most don't have the ability to rejoin. Therefore we keep a list of those just kicked and don't kick a second time, therefore most "human" (is there really humans on IRC?) don't just completely locked out. Once you have determined that the person is valid you can place that nick in the "safe" list and it will never get booted.

You can alter the channels it watches however this is a failing in the script, if a bot enters two channels at the same time we are lost as it will only be kicked in one channel and then enter the recently kicked.

I need to thank Roeland 'Trancer' Nieuwenhuis who wrote nickban.pl on which this is based. Also I'd like to thank kitchen@efnet for tempting me into improving the script!
