...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.

hey scooter were are you the guy who took scooter is'nt him

i tried logging in as scooter but all it said that this name dont exist wot the fuck man

i'm new here can u tell me what to do here? thank's

im getting mah bot together pretty well,i just need more people to test it INVASION!

geez, how do you get your dev points to raise?ive tried hard.

I'm finding that more and more guests consistently write "your" meaning "you're". Since "your" is a word on its own account, the AIengine will not correct it. I have actually started to write responses for it under this assumption.
