# kickbot
a maubot plugin that tracks the last message timestamp of a user across any room that the bot is in, and
a maubot plugin that attempts to assist administrators of communities on matrix, based on the concept of matrix spaces.
# features
## activity tracking and reporting
tracks the last message timestamp of a user across any room that the bot is in, and
generates a simple report. intended to be used to boot people from a matrix space and all space rooms after a period of
inactivity.
inactivity (prune inactive users) with the `purge` subcommand.
supports simple threshold configuration and the option to also track "reaction" activity. you can also exempt
users from showing as "inactive" in the report by setting their ignore status. this will be re-set when the user
supports simple threshold configuration and the option to also track "reaction" activity.
you can also exempt
users from showing as "inactive" in the report by setting their ignore status with the `ignore` and `unignore` subcommands, e.g.
`!activity ignore @takinabreak:fromthis.group`. this will be re-set when the user
becomes active again, so this is useful for someone who is going on an extended hiatus! also this is an accident
and will hopefully be a more permanent design in the future.
and will hopefully have a more permanent option in the future as well.
sync subcommand will actively sync your space member list with the database to track active members properly. new members
to the space automatically trigger a sync, as do most other commands.
`sync` subcommand will actively sync your space member list with the database to track active members properly. new members
to the space automatically trigger a sync, as do most other commands. this command is mostly deprecated but you may want
to run it just to see what it does.
generate a report with the report subcommand. purge users with the purge subcommand.
generate a report with the `report` subcommand (i.e. `!activity report`) to see your inactive users.
this plugin is nowhere near finished, there are lots of sharp edges. if you don't feel comfortable reading the code to
understand more what's going on here, please do not use this.
## user management
purge inactive users with the `purge` subcommand (i.e. `!activity purge`).
kick an individual user from your space and all child rooms, regardless of activity status, with the `kick` subcommand
(e.g. `!activity kick @malicious:user.here`)
use the `guests` subcommand to see who is in a room but NOT a member of the parent space (invited guests) e.g.
`!activity guests #myroom:alias.here`.
# installation
install this like any other maubot plugin: zip the contents of this repo into a file and upload via the web interface,
or use the `mbc` utility to package and upload to your maubot server.
