Earlier

person: tell freedomlover I hope you get this message!
funbot: person, your memo for freedomlover has been saved.

Later

fr33domlover joins

person:       Hey fr33domlover, did you get my message?
fr33domlover: No, I didn't :(
person:       Huh, funbot said it was saved…
fr33domlover: Who did you send it to?
person:       You, freedomlover!
fr33domlover: Ah, I'm actually `fr33domlover`, not `freedomlover`
person:       Ohh. Hmm. I wish funbot had warned me…

Solution

  • funbot should keep track of which nicks have joined the channel
  • If you try to send a memo to someone who has never joined, funbot should give a warning (or error, and refuse to send?)
  • Optional upgrade: Instead of "someone who never joined", use, "someone who hasn't been in the channel in the last [month]", and throw away information about nicks that's been around longer than that.
