Annoying, move it to a chan of its own.
Trigger the lotto command as a /ctcp and /notice.
Leave it like it is.

Lotto game on IRC
I don't know why mods, supermods and admins are still allowing that continuous spam, but I'd really like if it could be moved somewhere else than T-I's IRC main chan. It's really annoying and I'm not the only one who thinks it. Plenty of users have stopped hanging around IRC because of it.
Creating a #lotto chan or something would fix the issue or anything else, as long as we don't have to suffer this plague on the main chan.
My 2 cents.
I mentioned the spam to outdoors30 during the premature stages of his lotto system. I felt the same as you, but then he did make a valid argument. The purpose of the lotto is to promote idling and conversations in the IRC channel and it has. I was quite skeptic of that as well, but seriously, the channel has been more active. The users in #torrent-invites usually hovers around ~58, but now it's around ~80. I'm not suggesting that the lotto system is the entire cause of this, but it definitely did contribute to that value.
A suggestion would be to trigger the lotto command as a /ctcp and /notice the information to the user rather than announcing it to the channel. The only time the announcement should be public is when there is a winner.
What you could do is append a poll to this thread.
1) Move the lotto to another channel
2) Leave it as is
3) Follow el2em's suggestion
Excellent suggestion el2m, editing the suggesting in the form of a poll.
This sounds good to me. It gets rid of the spam and if the lotto does promote idling in the main channel, this way we keep that too ;)A suggestion would be to trigger the lotto command as a /ctcp and /notice the information to the user rather than announcing it to the channel. The only time the announcement should be public is when there is a winner.
A long time ago a creature born of dust brought light to the darkest corner of the universe. Over centuries he became a beacon of hope and a force for good. No evil could touch him; no darkness could sway him off his path. He helped those in need and guided them to fulfill their destiny. And, someday in the distant future when he is no longer need he will once again become dust, but until that day he is The Exalted.
I myself voted to put the lotto on a different channel. el2em said that the number of active users on chan increased and it's probably true. But when thinking about it, the same users would probably stay in both chans. It hardly seems that they're just going to join a different chan and not join T-I's main. This way, everybody would be happy: increased number of users (if that's the goal why not), and seperate chans for "normal" and lotto activities.

Ubi i have voted (Trigger the lotto command as a /ctcp and /notice.), i hope this will happen and make the majority of users happy.
I did my part I voted and I have no problem with this being in the main channel it not only is bring activity on Irc up it is helping members give out invites in my opinion

I like keeping it in main channel, this has changed IRC for the better - but yeah, it might be okay to make it not broadcast to everyone in the channel.

You guys dont want to see my hundreds of losses ( i still havnt one yet btw, which i assume means the contest is racist. ), I have to say, im mildly insulted.
I like el2ems sugg, we dont necessarily need to see everyone losses just if theres a winner ;)
I do think it should stay in #t-i simply because for the people who are joining because of the contest, if its in a lotto channel, theres no discussion, just people saying 'lotto' all day, when they pop into the channel to say lotto and see a conversation going they may jump in, where as, if it was just a channel they may never talk in main.
By the same token, I dunno how hard it will be implement the idea where it only publicly announces it if its a winner. But if its hard/complex I cant really blame outdoors30 for not being 100% willing to jump in and spend all the time coding it. Not if hes as lazy as me, that is :P
This is a good thing to bring up though, No one should leave the room because theyre annoyed, thats lame :l Fo' Serious!
EDIT: BTW youre WELCOME and YES i DO deserve special thanks for YOURE AWESOME AVATAR!!!!!
