Watcher

Killed by watcher? Here you can find the things NOT to do if you want to connect to Chat4All

What is Watcher?

We've installed a security system ("Watcher") to combat virus and drone connections. It works by awarding points for things in your details that look like a virus drone's nick, ident and fullname fields. This page is to help people who have been mistakenly killed as a virus drone get onto Chat4All with the minimum of hassle. To be killed by the service, your score must be above 7. Anything else, and the score will just be logged and you will be allowed to go on your way.

Points

To avoid being killed in the future here is a list of scoring systems used by the script so that you may adjust your details to get onto the network.

Negative Points

You get awarded for these connection details:

Nick contains a known dictionary word or human name
-3 points per word
When symbols are removed, nick contains a dictionary word or human name
-3 points per word

-3 points per word
When symbols are removed, Ident contains a dictionary word or human name
-3 points per word

-3 points per word

-2 points per symbol

Negative scores are good, so try to get as many of these above points.

  • | (pipe)
  • ` (backtick)
  • ^ (caret)
  • ] (right square bracket)
