These commands can only be used publicly in most if not all WordPress IRC channels.
This bot accepts both ! (exclamation) and . (period) as its command character. Commands listed together work the same (example: .c and .codex).
This bot operates based on channel context for WordPress and BuddyPress. The codex is however the only command that is contextual currently.
The output of most of these commands can be redirected to a specified user by using the > character followed by the user's nick.
More existing keywords somebody was too lazy to document in full detail: !orderbytax
These commands can only be used by a limited number of people for the time being, send private messages to the bot.
| COMMAND | DESCRIPTION |
|---|---|
| learn keyword:your text | Add the !keyword command that lets the bot respond with "your text" |
| unlearn keyword | Remove the !keyword command |
The bot and documentation are managed by Matt 'sivel' Martz and his army of badgers.
