Talking over botnet?

Description

I'm being told that the bMotion on my bot is sending information over the botnet and is giving others notices and they don't want to see any of it. I asked what bMotion is saying and he responded with: 

10:14am (Ami-Chan) zb optix bmotion HAY {#BLX} #majestic #bar #optix (TechJoose)

(optix is the name of my bot)

Could you shed some light on this as to how I can possibly turn off any info being sent via botnet?

Thanks!

(They should only see if it they have .console +t, which lets them monitor botnet traffic. People monitoring botnet traffic either 1) need to get out more or 2) are bMotion developers [see (1)] :)

Grab the changes in [868] and apply to your bot, then put set bMotion_interbot_enable 0 in your settings.tcl and rehash. That should disable the broadcasts (and everything else interbot related, since they rely on the broadcasts to find other bots).

I haven't tested this patch in anger but it loads OK on my test bot. Make sure you use .bmotion rehash to load it safely, and if it complains about a missing setting, .restart your bot or .tcl source scripts/bmotion/modules/interbot.tcl, if you have .tcl enabled.
