IRC bot standards

[Nickster258]

Well, the rules for bots will only really be constricted to "Don't let your bot become a nuisance". These are more of recommendations, which should definitely be used. You suggested timeouts for web stuff but a timeout for literally anything would be good so people don't spam your bot (Our IRC setup throttles spammed requests so if you send TONS of requests the bot could get held up, kinda like how varBot was held up when I spammed it) . I always did regex and forced alphanumeric standards on my inputs.
