Add !!/block and !!/unblock commands

[csnardi]

With our recent chat trolls with SmokeDetector, we've found problems with !!/stappit. Since Undo has added an auto-restarting feature, !!/stappit doesn't work. Thus, Smokey keeps posting...

I think an easy solution to this would be to create !!/block {time} and !!/unblock commands. !!/block {time} would stop Smokey from posting until this given time (in minutes) is up. It could just be a simple check when posting, i.e. if isBlocked: return else: post. !!/unblock would just make it eligible to post again.

Is this a good solution to the problem? Feedback welcome.

You should have a 15 minute max block so people don't abuse it. 15 isn't a lot but it is comparable to the timer with the hot tub at hotels: you can easily enable it for a little bit more. If you're having problems with people writing scripts to keep it blocked, you should have some maximum commands usable in a few hours.

Also: add an automatic continue of the ban if the chatroom is extremely active... That might always trigger with Tavern...

One more thing: you should either store the "missed" posts and post them when the ban is over or just have a site where you can view everything, even stuff that's deleted in chat/blocked. That would solve the whole issue of infinite bans.

@Annonomus-Penguin This would be limited to certain people, so abuse isn't a major problem. I'm thinking a cap of a few hours though... maybe 5? I'm not sure. Also, re your missed posts point: this is mainly to prevent Smokey from being abused, so we probably wouldn't want to post the missed posts.
