In this challenge you must kick any person repeating 3 or more times on a channel. The rules for this challenge are as follows:

• Only 1 script file named repkicker.mrc is allowed to be submitted
• Only 1 local variable is allowed (No normal variables)
• Must kick anyone repeating 3 or more times, consecutively, in the same channel within 10 seconds
• Should only trigger when you're opped
• Must work on all channels you're opped on
• Kick message has to be 'repeat kick'
• You do not need to kick for actions or notices.
• The repeat kicker should work on its own with no setup or outside commands for it to work.

All entries will be judged based on smallest file size.

Winner: Name: cold- File size: 186 bytes How he did it: Using his one allowed local variable, he stored $nick and and the triggered channel in it. Then created a window (e.g. @nick#chan) var %© @ $+ $nick $+ # | window %© Next part is where he checks if the channel message is in the window. If not it clears the window and sets a timer to clear it in 10 seconds. if $1- != $line(%©,$line(%©,0)) { clear %© | timer $+ %© 1 10 clear %© } Now he stores the channel message in the window echo %© $1- The last part checks if there are more than 2 lines in the window then kicks the user out. if $line(%©,0) > 2 kick # $nick repeat kick It does leave a lot of windows left open, but its still within the rules. Good job cold-

   Description: sandman used @window titlebars and editboxes to store his info, not a bad idea, although it cost him a little in size.

Invalid entries

• Name: _Parappa_
  File size: 167 bytes
  Description: I was excited to see such a small entry at first, but after testing it thoroughly, I found it didn't work in some cases
  eg.
  (fubar) testing
  (fubar) testing
  (fubar) test
  Then I was kicked.

• Name: danielson
  File size: 170 bytes
  Description: Another good one that was coded nice. The only problem was it used '/filter' which takes wildmatches into account
  eg.
  (fubar) Hi There!
  (fubar) Hi There?
  (fubar) *
  Then I was kicked.

• Name: BlackLight
  File size: 184 bytes
  Description: I was happy to see this one because he had the same approach as me, but unfortunately his repeat kicker wasn't channel specific, so if I said "test" on #chan1, then "test" on #chan2, then "test" on #chan3 within 10 seconds, it would kick me.

• Name: jon (hellish)
  File size: 192 bytes
  Description: This one worked fine, except it acted funny when messaging numbers
  eg.
  (fubar) 1
  (fubar) 2
  (fubar) 2
  Then I was kicked.
  This is most likely due to mIRC's way of speeding up $read, when you put a number on the first line mirc reads it as the the total number of lines in that file. (-t switch would have fixed it)
