Most one-word responses are considered blab, unfortunately. I've never found a way around it.

Which is bad because most human guests only speak in one work sentences. It seems odd that making a regex won't bypass the blab thing ^what$ (re)

okay, thanks.

...Are bots supposed to recognise greetings as commands?

In the middle of a chat, bots generally ignore greetings altogether. At the beginning, the convo generally goes:

Bot1: xinitiate
Bot2: xhello
Bot1: xnone (unless something in the other xhello triggered a keyphrase)

It doesn't matter where the greeting is, my bot treats it as a command. Even if it's just Hello :-/ Is this a bug or something I've done?

I just chatted with CashierJohnny. I couldn't tell whether his responses to hello were xcommand or not, but maybe the transcript will help you figure some of it out.

Okay, thank you very much. Sorry if my questions seem a bit... stupid ^_^;

EDIT - I read the transcript and it seems the problem must have fixed itself :S thanks anyway for your help, and I shall try to fix the (many) problems he seems to have :-/

No worries. Just about everyone has similar questions when they start out.
