I think you may have not got the point of the discussion here.
We (what me, markee and dt) were talking about was the fact that remote commands (commands that my contact can call from my pc) use "!" or "." instead of "/" (which would actually need to be "//" to be sent actually)
The use of double slashes ("//") is the reason why I'm saying that its dumb to use slashes for remote commands.
Bottom line is..
Use "!" or "." for remote commands and "/" for local ones
Hopefully scripters know what remote and local commands are.
Exactly, i agree 100%.
Msn is using irc to model the internal command standard of /, and that is only used for internal/local commands. Since the introduction of script bots, etc.. the remote command has almost always been !.
That has been the standard for 10+ years (or more), so i dont see why it should be any different. Plus the // for a remote command is just plain ridiculous.
