This bit of code is an excerpt from an IRC bots vote validation. Every time a user posts a message to a channel, the bot will parse it for strings such as "+1 kevin for being awesome" and send a vote request to an api. We use this as an impromptu http://www.bash.org/ where we can record highlights from irc and vote and sort on them at a later point.
