The best irssi script ever!

Yesterday, Blaine Fleming wrote the best irssi script ever. Instead of discarding PUBLIC messages from ignored nicks, it replaces their content with <redacted>. It makes busy channels with lots of /ignores very interesting (let the creativity fly!).

Get it here, or see the gist below.

#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use Irssi;

use vars qw($VERSION %IRSSI);

$VERSION = "0.000000001";
%IRSSI = (
    authors     => 'Blaine Fleming',
    contact     => 'blaine@selfishman.net',
    name        => 'redacted_ignore',
    description => 'script to redact public messages from ignored users',
    license     => 'GPL',
    url         => 'http://selfishman.net',
    changed     => '2009-11-03',
    changes     => 'FIRST POST!'
    );
    
Irssi::theme_register(['redact',
    "{msgnick \$0}" . "<redacted>"]);

sub do_urmom_in_public {
    my ($srv, $msg, $nick, $addr,
        $tgt) = @_;
    $srv->printformat($tgt, MSGLEVEL_PUBLIC, "redact", $nick)
        if $srv->ignore_check($nick, $addr, $tgt, $msg, MSGLEVEL_PUBLIC);
}

Irssi::print("redact public messages from ignored users");

Irssi::signal_add_first("message public", "do_urmom_in_public");

Enjoy!
