The AI Engine

There was this creep with the IP Address of 68.34.136.14 .
He was absolutely disgusting. Is there anything I can do to stop him from ever talking to my bots again?

I posted a suggestion in personality that relies on AIScripting. I'll just copy it from there:

{{{If there's a particular user you want to block, you could use AI-Script. Say you want to block 'Bob'. You could put HANGUP as an xhello with [?PF if (mem-nickname) is "Bob"; ?]
Hmm... But then you'd need to make sure the other xhellos wouldn't come up, so you'd have to put in [?PF if (mem-nickname) is not "Bob"; ?] on all of the other xhellos.

Note that you'd need to have "Bob" stored as a nickname to make this scenario work.}}}

I don't know of a way to block a user without using AIScript.

You could create a memory that never has stuff put into it via your bot- lets say "mem-jerk"- which in 'inner life' you could simply put a "1" or "yes" onto the various users you want to go away. Then follow the same form as Ulrike suggested except use "mem-jerk" instead of "bob" as this will allow a more flexible system that can be added to or subtracted from. Sprinkle the if mem-jerk is "1" check liberally into xhello, xinitiate, and xnone.

Hello everyone.

I new here and I just dont get the AIScript thing. Can anyone explain?

I don't really get it myself. But you can go quite a long way in developing your bot without it.

I'd recommend getting used to keyphrases, responses, and seeks before diving into any of the other stuff.

One thing I haven't been able to figure out is why a lot of these people who want to cyber with bots seem to come from Leeds--maybe they are the same person?

Mel, I think that they are the same person. I've noticed alot of "leeds" people myself since about Saturday.

If you read back in some of the forums, we've had a problem with someone from Leeds before, and the Professor had to block his IP temporarily.

If one more person, from Leeds or not, tries to cyber with 52XA... I mean, she's not *real*!

I've loaded my bots with insults and threats for people who try to cyber-I hope that works.
