hubot-plusplus-userverify

Give (or take away) points from people and things, all from the comfort of your personal Hubot. This is a simple fork off of the popular hubot-plusplus hubot-script. The changes made, although somewhat hacky, are in place to attempt to clean up goofy scorings while running the script in Slack with a team. Changes are noted below.

User Validation Works like so, the bot will take the last word of a multi word message and check to see if it matches a username or is the prefix of a username. If so, it will give the score to that username and drop the first part of the message.

For instance, the message other words go here USERNAME++, would give USERNAME an extra point. However, the message other words++ would give other words an extra point unless a user is in the room that has words as part of their username.

All other commands work as designed in hubot-plusplus.

Official Hubot-plusplus repo is located here: https://github.com/hubot-scripts/hubot-plusplus

  reason: 'being awesome'
}
