Hey All. If you're reading this, this applies to my chatbot Secretary_Helen (ydal.dna.dael.nori|stellubxis#ydal.dna.dael.nori|stellubxis).

If you find any bugs/unexpected responses, please let me know immediately.
-DrMagnus
Magnus, there's this thing called Nickgroups, and I'm so confused.
Of course you are. Okay, this is what you do:
STEP 1. Change to the nick you want to be the…idk, "main" one. Who cares. e.g. "/nick DrMagnus"
STEP 2. Instruct hel-bel to store your nick group. e.g. ".addnick MobileMagnus"
STEP 3. Add any further nicks you wish, by switching to one of your already grouped nicks (or just the one you're on), and doing .addnick again. e.g. ".addnick drmagnustein"
STEP 4 (Optional). Set your timezone and pronouns. You can view how to do this in the below table under .setTimezone and .setPronouns respectively.
None of this is case sensitive. Reach out if you have any questions.

Ban Specific Syntax
Adding a ban
You must specify some things when adding a ban. Flags are separated from their values by a single space. Different flags are separated by the | character. See examples, and ask if you are unsure.| Flag | Function | Required? |
|---|---|---|
| -u | User: Specifies the user to ban. Can be separated by COMMAS only. | No, but you should have either usernames or hostmasks. |
| -h | Hostmask: Specifies the hostmasks to ban. Can be separated by COMMAS only. | No, but you should have either usernames or hostmasks. |
| -c | Channel: Channel to ban them from (#site19 vs #site17). Keep in mind, Site19 bans carry to critters and workshop. | Yes. |
| -r | Reason: Why you're banning them | Yes. |
| -t | Time: When this ban ends. Specified as "YYYY-MM-DD;HH:MM:SS". | No but you need either T or D. |
| -d | Duration: A length of time from today to ban for (d:day,w:week,m:month,y:year,p:perma) | No, but you need either T or D. |
| -o | O5 Thread: Specifies the user's o5 thread record. Separate multiple threads with a SPACE please. | No. |
Examples:
- .addBan -u user1,user2| -c #site19| -d 1w| -r Slurs
- .addBan -h pen.and.sword.in.accord| -c #site19| -d 1w| -r Magnus is the dumbest person ever.
- .addBan -u vcas| -c #site17| -t 2020-03-14;12:00:00| -r Month to cool down| -o http://05command.wikidot.com/forum/t-12995756/vcas
After helen responds and you confirm the details are correct, please use the command .confirmAdd to enact the ban or .cancel to remove the pending change
Updating a ban
Ban updates must be done by ban id. To find the ban id, you must find the ban first. Once you do, it must be specified with the -i flag.
.findban works with either username or hostmask, and will find all bans for the user matching them.
- .findban -u username
- .findban -h hostmask
This will return an INTEGER at the front of Helen's return. That's the ban id.
From there, you can update a ban with any NEW usernames, hostmasks, overwrite the reason, thread, or duration fields. All the flags are the same as above.
- .updateban -i xxxx|-h hostname, hostname, hostname|-o http://05threadgoeshere.com
Deleting a Ban
Ban deletions must be done by ban id. To find the ban id, you must find the ban first. Once you do, you delete a ban with the following:
.deleteban <banid>
Helen will ask you to confirm the ban
Respond with .confirmdelete or .canceldelete to confirm the removal.
