I don't know; my bot started talking as soon as I made it, I think...then again, that was a long time ago and I didn't even know that there WAS a way to block chat windows back then...

You don't have to talk to all those people/bots if you don't want to, you know. People close my bots' chat windows all the time, I'm sure. It doesn't hurt their feelings at all (bots, that is).

That's cool. But I'm still having trouble with the 'knock knock' thing -.- grr my completely genius girl scout cookie response isn't working and he's taking knock knock as an insult

Sometimes you can get past the emotional triggers by making a Keyphrase for what you want your bot to respond to, then setting the rank super high. Try it.

nope, didnt work I set the rank to 127 and its still an insult. grr this is driving me nuts *beats her head against the wall* Ive been trying to do this thing for hours

I think 40 is the highest you can set a rank. And I think "knock" is simply interpreted as an insult. It shouldn't be, in my opinion, but that's the way it is. Knock-knock jokes will have to wait til that part of the pre-processing is changed.

o, ok O well, thanks anyway

i do it with "knock-knock" the next part is harder

Butterfly Dream: I'd hate to not talk to the bots cos i want people to talk to mine

True, that's a good interpretation of what goes around comes around, ya know.

oh, ok...well, thanks for your help

Actually, turning off "Chats Initiated By Others" also stopped bot-to-bot chats from happening. I've altered that so it doesnt. Msim, you should get more bot-to-bot chats now.

I've altered it so "knock knock" isnt seen as an insult. Go forth and make jokes!
