BotServ is the service that maintains custom services' bots for channels. It provides a basic framework for setting up a custom basic bot for users who can't make their own, can't host their own, or just simply prefer the convenience of having a services-controlled bot. BotServ bots will sit indefinitely in their assigned channels even if they are otherwise empty, so they can be used to keep channels open.

By default, the Xertion bot is directly assigned newly registered channels, and will perform ChanServ actions via in-channel commands (like those described below). You can assign a different bot by typing /msg BotServ ASSIGN [#channel] [bot name], where channel is the name of the channel you want to assign the bot to, and bot name is the name of the bot you wish to assign.

To obtain a list of available network bots you can assign with BotServ, simply type /msg BotServ BOTLIST. These bots are available to the entire network for everyone to use.

If you would like to have a custom bot that is not listed, and your channel has at least 15 users in it excluding bots, you can ask us in #help. We will be more than happy to create one for you.

By default, BotServ bots respond to in-channel commands prefixed with a '.' (period). When issuing ChanServ commands in this manner, you do NOT need to specify the channel in most cases, as it is automatically assumed. For example, typing .halfop nickname is the exact equivalent of typing /msg ChanServ halfop #channel nickname (of course assuming you have the access to perform that command).
