Bot Contest

Obviously there are loop holes in any voting system. History has shown however the more safeguards you put in (cookies, voter registering, confirming valid e-mails, etc) the less likely people will vote. There are safeguards in place to detect voting fraud but I wouldn't mention them publically for obvious reasons.

I've been able to vote 3 times. (All from my home computer...)

I can think of a few obvious systems for detecting fraud in the new 5-vote system, maybe I'll email you later so you can see if they're not being used already

erm I think you meant the Bug Stomp or AI engine forum I know, it's easy to click elsewhere I've done it before

Err. Yes!!

And here I thought the Forge had swallowed my post!

(I was waiting for my post to appear in Bug Stomp.)

/fixes/

I've just thought of something... how are the botmasters going to vote for the two bots to go into the finals? Will it be using email? (I accidentally misspelled mine :o)

maybe people clear their cache, clear their cookies, don't have static ip e.t.c

I'm thinking of entering my bot in the bot contest. I haven't even been a member of this website for a month, but my friend got me interested in it. So, when's the next one? In a year?

The next chatterbox challenge will be in about a year, yes. I think the Loebners are usually the end of August.

ooh!! I want to do that one!!

Prof, are any PF bots going to enter the Loebner contest this year?

It's up to you. Whoever wants to can. I might, just for a lark. It looks like Ezzer is going to.
