Identify limited accounts by accountName

[tomastaker]

Please add these accounts and then request again: (limited accounts)

Hello, some added accounts may have restrictions and the bot successfully notifies me about it
However, it sends a link to these accounts (link to steam profile) And this does not help to find which accounts have a restriction.

Is there any way to display information with account login?

Hey, the links the bot sends you should be the limited bot accounts which you or the profile you are sending the comments to has to add.
Is that not working as expected?

Edit: You should be able to just send those accounts a friend request and then request comments again

[tomastaker]

If I understand things correctly, these accounts can't send comments to non-friends
I wouldn't want to add these accounts as friends, so I wanted to find "defective bot accounts" and delete them
However ran into the difficulty that I only get their steam id, instead of steam login for example)))

Ohh that's what you are trying to do - yeah, you are right, the bot doesn't communicate that properly. I didn't actually think in this direction.
I'm going to improve how the bot logs the limited accounts it found in the next update.
I'll probably add another log message which lists the account names of the limited bot accounts it found; maybe even on ready (it currently shows only the amount of limited accounts which you may have seen already).

I'll keep this issue open until then :)

Hi, still can't find out which accounts have limits? :)

Hey, sorry, no news yet.
I don't even really know yet how this would need to look like.
A simple command to just output limited accounts wouldn't really make much sense, a more powerful managing-accounts-from-the-chat system would probably be needed to justify it. (Not that that is a bad idea, however I have no idea yet how that would look like to be intuitive to use)
A more intuitive way would be to view information like this in the Web UI but the website plugin is not there yet, it needs more basic work.

Got it, thanks for the detailed reply =)

I have now added a new manage module to the Controller (in 7ac9dfb .. 222f17b) which provides others (e.g. commands & plugins) an unified interface to add, remove, filter & relog accounts and respread proxies during runtime.

A new !manage command has been added which implements the modes addAccount, removeAccount and filterAccounts of the manage module. This allows owners to directly run manage functions from the Steam Chat.

Focused on your suggestion this means that you can now run !manage filterAccounts limited to get a list of all limited bot accounts. Run the command without the filter argument (= !manage filterAccounts) to get a list of all available filters (currently all, statusOffline, statusOnline, statusError, statusSkipped, limited, unlimited are supported).

I'll leave this issue open until Version 2.16.0 is out on the master branch which implements these new features.
