What is an IRC bot?

IRC bots are used to keep an IRC channel open for your use. This may deny others the opportunity to gain access to that IRC server. Many bots are also harmful to the server they are maintaining channels to. This has caused many IRC servers to make bots illegal. If you are caught running a bot on your Rutgers account, your rutgers accounts will be suspended. It is suggested that you read the web page http://info.rutgers.edu/Techdir/acceptable-use.html for guidelines what is and is not allowed.
