Blacklist of usernames #132

Open btcdrak opened 8 years ago

btcdrak commented 8 years ago

There's a feature of the bot where @ is prepended to known usernames when piping text from IRC to Slack. However, if someone of slack registers a username like a or the, the bridge becomes quite obnoxious. It seems either the feature of prepending @ should be configurable (on/off) or additionally, to add a blacklist option to the config.json with an array of "do not prepend @" usernames.

I think an array of usernames is too specific (and too much of a pain to configure) - an option to turn it off could be a possibility though.

Seems good to me.
