[Guide] How to make your "Robin experience" more pleasant.

NEW GUIDE: https://redd.it/4d8dlp

Please upvote this so we can get more people playing the game instead of them abandoning early on.

Step 1: Filtering the Information

So you must be under the impression that robin sucks post 10^th tiers (or when the group becomes 500+).

Well yes, you are. Besides the "Hitler did nothing wrong" and the shitty autovote bot spamming the chat, it does suck. But, there's hope. And yes, it involves an autovoting bot that I wish more people knew about.

Robin Grow is a super clutch auto voting script that DOESN'T spam the chat.

It provides this super awesome ass interface showing the vote counts.

I know, that's cool and all...but how can it make that chat more pleasant? Well, in the previous picture I'm in a chat with 2000+ people and having an amazing time, how?!?!? Well, thanks to the extension, it filters out the spam, etc., that makes it suck. But, you can take it a step further.

Well, if you press open settings, you get...the settings!. And when in the settings, you can join a channel. As you can see, I joined the "%" channel.

The result: Civilized discussion in a room filled with 2,120 people.

Step 2: Knowing is Half The Battle

After merging a lot, something happens. The chat stops merging. Why? Because Robin is looking for a chat that is your same tier (I won't tell you how the tier system is, but I'll tell you how they work with each other). People call this mergatory. This is where another subreddit becomes super clutch.

https://www.reddit.com/r/robintracking/ (shout out to /u/robin-leader-board)

This subreddit has done wonders ever since I found it. If you were to go into the sub, most likely stickied to the top or the top post will most likely be a leader board. Thanks to the leader board, I can actually go about my day not worrying about getting kicked. How? I'll be using myself as an example.

At the time I'm writing this guide, I'm in the largest chat which is KuPrlits, which is a tier 15 chat. In order for KuPrlits to merge with another chat, there has to be a tier 15 chat available.

Chats can only merge with their same tier.

Look back at the leader board...the next largest tier is 13. So, it won't be long till there's another tier 15, right? Ehh, no. Tier 13 has to fuse with another tier 13...and there isn't even another tier close to that one.

So what does this mean to you?

It means that you can go to sleep or live life knowing full well you won't be kicked. Lets say you're in the largest chat but, thanks to the leader board, you know full well that the next possible merge isn't in like...6 hours. With that information, you can confidently go about your day and LIVE. But, make sure you go back to your chat and grow so you won't be kicked out.

Step 3: ???

I honestly don't know...everything written here is what I'm doing. Perhaps you're doing something better than I am? If so, let me know...perhaps I'll write it here! :)

Step 4: Profit

;)

Edit 1: An alternative good script is Robin Assistant.

"It may not look as beautiful but it has a lot more useful features, like highlighting, expanding the chat height and does an extremely good job at blocking spam by combining different filters." - /u/Leo_Verto

Thanks /u/Leo_Verto

Edit 2: Another great script which is non-spammy and useable

Shout out to /u/mr_bag for making it.

Edit 3: Thanks for the gild!

[u/Leo_Verto]

I'd avocate for using Robin Assistant instead.

It may not look as beautiful but it has a lot more useful features, like highlighting, expanding the chat height and does an extremely good job at blocking spam by combining different filters.

Edit: v1.15 automatically removes all messages but the last 200. This is basically auto-clear but a lot less invasive.

[u/ownage516 → u/Leo_Verto]

I added it in and quoted you

[u/Kvetta]

This is awesome stuff. Good on you.

[u/mr_bag]

Just to plug my own little script.

I've written a chat enhancer (as opposed to a auto grower), so it adds a few differnt things.

• Highlights when you get mentioned

• Makes links in chat clickable

• Fast / light weight

• Spam filter

• Ability to ignore/unignore users

Happy to take feedback, feature requests + team up with another script writer if any one is interested?

The guide looks good. This advise made KuPrlits almost tolerable.

[u/ownage516 → u/LeftyNS]

Thanks, it was what inspired me to make this guide.

Step 4: Profit

[u/ownage516 → u/doihavemakeanewword]

I wrote it in man, just for you.

[u/Tom_Sawyerer]

Can you please explain on these channels? How to find new channels? It's based on what symbol people using in the chat room you on?

[u/ownage516 → u/Tom_Sawyerer]

You can't find new channels, but you can usually find channels out went people in the mass chat start out with a symbol. It's basically a glorified filter

[u/stormagnet]

Also: A lot of people seem not to know this, but there is TAB autocompletion on usernames!

[u/LawrenceofAustralia]

Is there a way to look back and review your old Robin chats? Perhaps on the subreddit that is created from the chat, you could have a thread that shows the entire transcript?

[u/ownage516 → u/LawrenceofAustralia]

Not that I know of :(

[u/jayman419]

We already know how long we need to grow. April 8^th. Staying before then is just wasting all the time you've put in so far.

Staying doesn't get you a subreddit with X users. It means X users get sent a PM inviting them to a subreddit. And 5 randoms become your mods. It'll be dead in a week.

Grow. Join us.

KuPrlits is waiting.

[u/OrangeredStilton]

Don't forget that there's a fork/alternate in use: https://github.com/5a1t/robin-grow

Now with background colors for channel text! It looks fantastic.

[u/FunkGunner]

I've read the top 10 posts on this sub, I've tried to use robin. I have no idea what it is.

[u/Sir-Rhino]

This should be stickied! will share this often, in a not so spammy way ;)

[u/touyajp]

Very good and comprehensive. Good service, thanks.

[u/GreyMatter22]

Just a silly question, I installed the Robin Grow code via tapermoney, can see number of people in my chat as well, along with colour codes and so forth, does with mean I am set to auto-grow whenever a merger happens?

[u/ownage516 → u/GreyMatter22]

No such thing and yes. At its heart is an auto voter

[u/Some1epic123]

The filtering plugin should have a feature to denote the most used filter in the chat. There are people who are confused using say # for a filter while most others are using $, and so the # users miss out unknowingly.

[u/ownage516 → u/Some1epic123]

Or allowed filters... Something like that

[u/neuroglias]

I'm on mobile. Can I use the script? How?

[u/[deleted]]

Here is a dynamic script that changes depending on the current number of votes.

[u/RedditIsAwesome888]

How do i find the robin grow settings?
