# spamKill #
#==========#
# The goal of spamKill is to block spam messages without imposing an undue burden on legitimate users. While this
# bot will by no means prevent ALL spam, it will block the most common spam messages, which are generated by
# chatroom bots. Many span prevention bots/apps work by using word filters, or captcha, but can be unfriendly
# to legitimate users because they have to retype messages that get blocked. The most common type of spam occurs
# via a bot entering the room, typing one or two lines,, and exiting. The spamKill bot blocks ths type of spam,
# without requiring legitimate users to retype any blocked messages. It works as follows:
# - When a user types a message in chat for the first time, they are greeted with the following message:
# Please enter the number "NN" to send your message. You only need to do this once, thanks for helping battle spam!
# - If they type the number, their message is sent, and will no tget future prompts (until spamKill is restarted)
# - If they do not type the correct number (and most bots will not), their message will not be sent and they will
# continue to be prompted
#
