Default 3rd party bots

#a&a BOTs will be removed from any channels with 2 or more BOTs or trivia.

Reasons:
  1. 90% of BOTs are not setup, conforming to a&a rules & terms.
  2. Some channels have 2 ore more BOTs, another channels have no BOT at all, this is not equitable & not optimal.
  3. It is a non-sense to have 2 or more BOTs on same channel, usually they have the same commands/performance/goal & they are not made for collection/population purpose.
  4. Concerning trivia BOTs: they are considered as BOTs too, besides they flood a&a protection BOTs; if you have a trivia channel - this is your choice, but try to have an advanced trivia BOT which will be able also to protect your channel. a&a will not support anymore trivia channels.
How:
  1. All channels will be verified if they have 3rd party BOTs, if a BOT will be found, the a&a helper/master will contact the channel manager directly or will leave a notice on BOT, in order to warn the manager that he has 48 hours to decide wich BOT he will prefer to remain in channel. If u prefer the a&a BOT to part your channel - use the command !purge or conact any a&a admin/master on #a&a. If you want the the 3rd party BOT to part your channel - try the command !part or contact an admin on support channel.
  2. If any BOT will be found after 48 hours on your channel, your channel will be purged on a&a BOT by a global admin PERMANENTLY.
Questions/Comments:
You can post here any comment/question.
PS:
For everyone who doesn't know yet, all channels with 15 or more clones are purged too. Reason: according to Cservice Undernet Terms/Rules this is an abuse, besides flood-joins/flood-parts, hundreds of BOTs/BNCs on channel, this is not normal & an a&a BOT less or more - it will not make any differece. In addition this is a flood for a&a BOTs & there is a probability that your channel will get purged & all users on it considered abusive (not good/correct for an a&a BOT). Anyway, THERE IS NO REASON for an a&a high peformance protecting BOT - to be on this kind of channel.
