X-Lines

The X-Lines page shows IRC ban notices (G-lines, Z-lines, K-lines, etc.) received by the bot and lets operators annotate them with comments and Discourse links.

Prerequisites

The xlines plugin must be loaded on at least one bot.

Reading the list

Each row represents one xline notice. Notices that have been grouped together appear as a block.

Use the search box to filter notices.

Adding a comment

  1. Tick the checkbox next to one or more notices.
  2. Type a comment in the Add comment box.
  3. Optionally paste a Discourse topic URL — BCP will resolve it to a post ID and display a link.
  4. Click Add comment.

The comment is attached to all selected notices. If the notices were not already grouped, they become a group so they stay together on the page.

Grouping notices

To link notices that belong to the same incident:

  1. Tick the checkboxes on each notice.
  2. Click Merge selected.

The notices are merged into one group. Their existing comments are preserved. Groups always sort together and are never split across pages.

To remove a single notice from a group, click the × next to it inside the group block.

Discourse integration

A Look up Discourse button appears when adding a comment. Paste a Discourse topic or post URL and BCP will fetch the post title and ID to attach to the comment. The resolved post is displayed as a clickable link next to the comment.
