I'm trying to get help with a certain issue on a rizon channel and I'm
stuck in the bot bullshit. I'm sure it would be amusing if it wasn't
totally interfering with what I'm trying to do. I'm using hexchat and
would like to know how to get it to leave me alone ***for good***

what's a trapbot?

I think they invite you to channels that are difficult to leave.
Annoying in clients that join you to channels you're invited to
automatically. \#dontjoinitsatrap is one know of but I don't know if
it still operates and I don't want to find out.

That's the one actually

Change the settings in hexchat so it doesn't join channels you're
invited to.

I can't seem to find an option for that anywhere?

Try ignoring everything the bot sends?

Ignoring the bot doesn't work either sadly

Try fiddling with your user modes.

Trapbots have SVSjoin - force join.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

sorry, what does this mean?

it means you get forcibly joined; SAjoin/SVSjoin by oper tells ircd to
pretend the svsjoin'd user did /join to the channel
