Check http://www.eleves.ens.fr:8080/home/fleuret for latest version
features. He's still a fast and small bot, but he can defend a channel
by himself. The version 2.2.0 was so stable that I have run one on
#france for longer than one month with no reboot (when I finally
-killed it it was just to run a newer version).

connection even if the bots send you a lot of datas, etc. This kind of
connection is great for commands like "who" "help" "shitlist" etc.
+Since v2.8.0, TropBot has new features to handle big channels. First,
+it has in memory a list of 'restricted' sites. The bot will detect and
+kick/ban any group of users who are on the same machine. The main idea
+is to protect the channel from clone bots. The second important
+feature is the 'cop-mode'. When this mode is switch ON, the bot will
+detect any graphical effect (caps, reverse, mIrc colors, beeps,
+art-chars, repeated chars, etc.), wil also ban any user who is kicked
+3 times or more in less than 10 minutes, and will ban all site where
+more than 3 people are banned.
+
+The v2.9.0 is a more stable version, debugged using Purify(tm)

when the bot lagged because of network troubles.

"deban { list of patterns }" (alias "db") remove from the ban-list all
the entries who match one of the pattern
A bot is a complex program. This one, even if it's not very long has
to deal with many buffers and strings operations. Such kind of program
can't be 100% safe. I hope current version is stable, but I fear some
