Hex ping does not respond

[Ethan Waite]

Although it works for many other people, when I run 'hex ping', it does not respond to me.

Steps to replicate:
<+Dead-i> hex ping
<+Somebody-Else> hex ping
<@Hex> Somebody-Else: PONG

[Ethan Waite]

Issue Identified: The x10IRC system blocks out messages over 5 characters which over 50% capitals. Therefore, the command is not being responded to certain people.

Error(404): Your message cannot contain more than 50% capital letters if it's longer than 5 characters

@pmf01 Please either disable or fix this behaviour. I would recommend 15 characters and 30%, but even that would fail when pasting short SQL statements into the channel (which I can see happening).

respond with a lowercase pong?

[Callum Macrae]

That's what we refer to as a workaround; I'd prefer the original issue to be fixed ;-)

It's not an issue, it's a feature.

Request to 15 characters and 30% capitals? It would still catch shouting and block caps messages, but wouldn't stop many genuine posts.

Issue is fixed, request closure or permission to do so?
