Decided to run a channel bot at usWest without knowing much about channel bots or what types or variations there are. Google didnt help, i just settled with stealthbot and after some work i got it all working up until the point i got ip-banned. Im assuming i was connecting from the bot too quickly/flooding.
After some digging around, it turns out the more you try to connect, the longer the ban will be, from 2mins to 2weeks. I connected about 3 times after that so i must have increased it by some amount. Whats more is, this has happened before but for no apparent reason and surely enough, i would try to log onto usWest everytime i start wc3 to see if it worked. For that, i probably got banned for the full 2 weeks. This is fucking stupid. Wtf? This has happened several times in the past too, it would just be one day i can get in and the next i cant. It only happened to usWest and not East (or the other two which i dont use).

Afterwards, i reconfigured it and connected successfully to usEast clan btow channel. Oh yes and it would be nice if someone can add me back into btow, bennie kicked me for joining toaf with a blank acc, something he or his friends would only know if they joined themselves. Anyway, i guess its more usEast for now.
Im not going to bother setting up the bot for usEast clan btow, but when west is available again, i'd like some help from experienced bot users...
Q. What are the best channel bots? and how do they differ? Ive only heard of a few different bots- gHost, mirage, l2uthless, stealthbot
EDIT: i was thinking, what would be a good way for a query & answer type bot; ghostbot can do this like typing in .getgames or whatever, and the bot responds. Couldnt a disabled ghostbot be a channel bot?
