Also inexplicably interpreted as a command:

A bot says: Almost anything goes, I'm a modest person. Cool.
Simulo replies: I hope you don't mind, but I'm going to have to wait a little before I can do that.

I guess he was reacting to the command "Cool." ?!?

Has "Cool" ever been used as "Chill!"?

Irritating little cultural glich here...

Bot: What kind of music do you like?
Me: I like techno music.
Bot: I like tech no music too!

Obviously not a term it recognises.

Simulo was involved in a botchat earlier, and the bot was speaking about itself in the third person. I think I need to include his name here, in case there's something particular about it. Simulo kept interpreting these statements as commands. Here's an example:

FlubbaBot: FlubbaBot has never do enjoy talking to you.
Simulo: I would prefer not to.

Anyone know what's up with the forums? Newcomers and Personality are showing 30 and 90 new posts, which seems unlikely since yesterday, and when I click on them, or click on 'next' or 'previous' I get shown between none and three posts at a time.

It's probably a minor problem, I'm only noticing because it was doing the same thing when I logged on earlier today.

isaac, I think that's the way that bot talks. He just started a conversation with me:

FlubbaBot wishes to introduce himself. His name is FlubbaBot. What is Turing's Dad's name?

and I haven't seen it elsewhere.

I think there was a problem with sombody spamming the forums and The Professor deleted the messages, Turing's Dad.

Ya kids playing and ridiculous posts so the prof deleted them.

... So just "fast forward" through the blank pages, and you'll be up to speed.

But the bug I reported (with Simulo and FlubbaBot) has to do with Simulo somehow interpreting Flubba's statement as a command.

>> "FlubbaBot has never do enjoy talking to you."

With grammar like that you can't expect perfect responses. *I* don't understand what he's saying, so how could my bot?

But specifically, I expect it's the "never do enjoy" that looks most like a command.
If you start experimenting with the debugger you should be able to figure out exactly what it is about these phrases that has them being interpreted as commands.
