Is there a way to have custom sentinel.tcl settings for different channels, or to disable it on certain channels?
Unfortunately not. I probably won’t be implementing custom settings for each channel (e.g. per-channel flood settings and lock times) as this would over-complicate the settings section of the script, particularly in future versions where array settings are reserved for a different purpose in some of the settings. As for disabling the script on certain channels, a setting for this is a possibility. The main reason I haven’t implemented such as setting is that it’s optimal, for the bot’s stability, that it be able to lock any channel it’s on in response to a flood. Disabling it on a channel creates a hole – if a flood is allowed to go unchecked on that channel, it’s not only a threat to that one channel, but to the stability of the bot itself and the other channels it’s protecting. Given that, I’d have to hear enough real-world examples of where such a setting would be needed before I implement it.
