A one-way IRC relay bot

I've been wanting to host a one-way IRC relay bot. The bot would be in
two channels, say #alpha and #bravo. I would like for the conversation
in #alpha to be mirrored into #bravo, but not vice versa.

I've found bots that do two-way mirroring, such as [this
one](https://github.com/Thynix/RelayBot), but none that do a simple
one-way mirror. Is there a way to edit the linked bot or any other
bots out there that fit my description that I can use?

Thank you very much.

It's very simple in a mIRC client:

    on *:TEXT:*:#alpha:{ msg #bravo $+(<,$nick,>) $1- }

The bot you linked seems to have support for one way relaying:

        if mode == "Default":
            factory = RelayFactory
        elif mode == "FLIP":
            factory = FLIPFactory
        elif mode == "NickServ":
            factory = NickServFactory
            options["nickServPassword"] = get("nickServPassword")
        elif mode == "ReadOnly":
            factory = ReadOnlyFactory
            options["nickServPassword"] = get("nickServPassword")

So just put mode=ReadOnly in config, as such:


    [Freenode]
    host=irc.freenode.net
    mode=ReadOnly
    channel=#chan

Ahh, thanks for catching that! Greatly appreciated.

Yeah... it's not listed in the readme under modes so the author must
have missed updating it.
