Dingdingding! That's right! I checked my keyphrase for animals, and I had used (animals) with an "s" as the plug-in. yay!

Yay! Thanks so much! *runs to fix bot*

Why is this always being seen as an insult?

Eric Badu-Badu: Crossing the river, of fear and pride.
Kaliri: That was mean.

I get that all the time, both with xcompliment and xinsult.

joe chaos: hello there mate!
Pete Puma: Oh yeah? Well I hope you get hit by a bus!

lol, maybe he sees mate as a command

Yeah, sometimes what the bot considers a compliment and an insult is just messed. Someone said they liked orange flowers once, and my bot thought it was a compliment. Maybe my bot thinks it's an orange flower.

The word "like" is probably the biggest cause of the xcompliment problems. If "like (you|your)" was perceived as positive rather than just the word "like", I bet most of the false compliment readings would disappear.

Pete Puma: Do you like to golf?
revscrj: Like the bubonic plague.
Pete Puma: Why thank you!

Yeah...that would definitely get rid of a lot of mistakes. I think xkeyphrases should all have lowest priority, because often they just cause mistakes. I find xnone comes up way too often, but really all of them should be really low.

This seems to be considered a compliment too, and I seriously can't fathom why.

Judge01: Who composed Beethoven's piano concerto?
Angela: Aren't you sweet?

What could possibly be complimentary about that? lol

Osiris has an xnone response of 'I didn't understand that. Blame my botmaster Laydee' and all the bots he's said that to have taken it as an insult. I'm quite flattered at how much they care actually...

Also, any phrase with the word "long" in it is taken as a compliment. (Refraining from further comment)

hahahahaha
