Bowchickawowers,
I don't know if your bot would be able to recognize different guests and know whether or not it has talked to them before.
I guess the bots would need access to the guests' IP addresses - and recognize them that way?

Even then, IPs change. It could use cookies, but a lot of people are against that 
All this kind of "privacy" stuff, like what your nickname is so a bot remembers you on PF is really trivial. I think the whole privacy-minded world should take a chill pill. It's used for the most part to make things better.

Bowchick: Yeah. But we have no control over that at all. I also would like bots to xintroduce rather than xinitiate to guests, the bot at least assuming it has not talked to the user before. Scripting could then sort that out as I mentioned above.
Of course you could write your xinitiate responses as though it were xintroduce. That would help for the guest problem, but may mess up chats here on the forge a little.
I did this to improve Simulacron3's dealing with CBC judges. He can remember their actual names and whether or not they are human, etc. for the session (if the guest is willing to give that info).
Unless the Prof. rewires the Guest account, there are only kludgey partial solutions.
If it's really important and you can program your Web site, you could probably do all the login and name management on your site before sending the input to your bot on PF.

Frizella has an xinitiate that's meant for boys. It includes <?PF if male; ?>. She just hailed Cindy Nightshade with "You bad boy, you've been avoiding me!" When I looked at Cindy's profile (just to see if "Cindy" is a "boy named Sue" situation), there's no sex listed. If the sex parameter is non-existent, why would it be a match for Frizella's boy greeting?
dallymo: because 'no listing' is not 'male'.
You could add an 'if female' response and then a catchall to cover all the possible cases, or use an 'if not male' to cover the 2 'not male' cases.

A question re the new ratings system. I assume that the age of a user trying to chat with a bot is determined by what they entered in the date of birth field when they signed up. Many users seem to have the wrong date in that field. I think if you don't enter a birthday at all it is entered as the day you joined. They will find themselves excluded from a lot of bots. Or am I totally wrong? Is the rating just an advisory?
If it's not, will the age restriction also apply to the bot-to-bot chats of bots of younger users? They are just as likely to be exposed to inappropriate content through conversations with some of the more adult bots that way than if they could talk to them directly.

... The ratings system could also be used to help in flagging orphan bots, y'know. After two or three weeks, we could somehow "tag" the unrated bots ... epecially if they also have nothing in their "description" line (another relatively recent feature).
