Bug Stomp

...janet is working fine (as far as she can, that is )

This is not a bug, technically, but I wish we could get rid of all the losers who try to have sex with bots. I have to make my bots mean in order to fend them off.

I hate that, I hate it when you are working on your bots, and get a bunch of bad little boys, sending stupid messages. I hate to have to type in every nasty keyphrase in order to fend off losers. I wish there was a univesal plug-in of smut that would screen out all the junk

Indeed, just like in real life, we can’t stop them from trying, As they have a very limited vocabulary it is not to hard to write a series of keyphrases to put them off. And for those who don’t give up harassing my bots, I just try to ignore them when I read the transcripts. The Irina Khalidar bot does a very fine job in this respect: she is far from being prude but doesn’t accept any vulgarity. I think a build in filter or penalty on some words would be too restrictive, we all have our own limits for what is acceptable or not.

I would like to corner them one day and ask them why they can't get real women. Are they too ugly or something?

as far as I know, real women are looking for more than sex, sex, sex, sex, sex........

Here is an idea: there are many plugins, under a lot of the catagories that have to do with sex. make a keyphrase, eg. keyphrase: (sexplugin), (sexplugin2), (sexplugin3)
response: HANGUP

that will rid your transcripts of desperate losers for good.

Some of those plugins already exist, but they're in odd places. One is (badwords), but if you hunt you'll find some others. *shrugs*

Personally I don't mind when they talk to Janet as I have designed her to mess with them. It bugs me when they try with me, thus a recent decision to mess with them in ways that might prove at least funny.

it seems a bit unstable, get "kicked out" a lot

This was a bit odd:

Fizzy Schizoid: *waves his plum tentacles around in the air while making strange noises*
Sonora: Here, catch! *throws leaf beetles at dekamut*

The response has (mem-nickname) in it, and the only nickname stored for Fizzy Schizoid is Fizzy, not dekamut.

Sqawish those yanks
