XSTerminate

The Original Bitcointalk Delete Bot

XSTerminate is a bot that can crawl new messages in your thread and delete posts from unwelcome members.

XSTerminate is a python program with only two dependencies: pyyaml and BeautifulSoup.

XSTerminate can run as a daemon in *nix systems or as a console program in both Windows (NT+) and *nix systems. In *nix it can be killed with SIGINT (ctrl-C in the console) or SIGTERM in Windows. In such cases, it will terminate gracefully and save cookie information.

Usage

xsterminate deletebot.yml

The file "deletebot.yml" is a yaml file with several settings.

Configuration

• user: the bitcointalk username
• password: the bitcointalk password (remove or make null for getpass)
• topic: the bitcointalk topic number found in the topic url
• lusers: the luser blacklist with one luser name per line
• sleep: be nice to bitcointalk by sleeping between thread reloads
• cookiefile: the file wherein cookies are stored
• debug: prints debug output if set to "true"; omit or set to false if unwanted

The settings "sleep" and "debug" can be changed in the config file while the bot is live and the bot will adjust its behavior upon the next reload of the thread messages.
