[IRCServices Coding] Re: Akill problem in 5.0.22

[Saturn]

Would have been nice if someone had mentioned that (about the
ImmediatelySendAutokill) from the start.  I would say the flag is misleading
in title then, because I (and 8 other people on my staff -- none of us are
dummies, either) read that as meaning it will Immediately send the auto
kill... "ImmediatelyUpdateServers" might be more fitting from an intuitive
standpoint, not that I'm suggesting changing the name, but at least the
documentation of it could be a bit more explicit IMHO.

and yes, I know there will be about 50 people (probably all of them
hard-core coders) shaking their heads in disbelief at what I've said, but
let's face it:  If we were ALL hard-core coders, we wouldn't need Andrew and
his IRCServices, would we?  We'd all be making our own.  So all I'm saying
is how about a little slack for those of us with OTHER important skills that
might fall outside the scope of being the "world's greatest expert" on IRC
programming...

         To save the rest of us from having to put up with more bickering,
it may be of note that I had to comment out 'EnableExclude' in order for my
immediate-kill functionality to work under bahamut (I know, you're using
Unreal).  All the ImmediatelySendAkill does is informs all linked services
that they should add an Akill.  It's then up to those servers to decide how
to deal with it.
