Bug Stomp

i set up Flash for Siseneg and entered the domain *.uberkomplex.com in my settings but get this message instead of him loading: "Please do not kidnap bots from the Personality Forge."

i also tried adding the URL to include the page.html the plugin script is on in and other variations of the URL but nothing helped. if it's something i'm missing i don't see it now.

one of the other bots besides Desti that randomly appear on the Forge index page also give the same kidnapping message when you try to talk to them.

all the bots that appear on the index page, including Desti and Dogh'd, bring up the kidnap message.

We need to get it so that we can save transcripts of chats with humans!! Then we can show when there are harrassment!! Or is that already in place, but only admins can access them?

human to human chat should be strictly optional. i don't have anything to hide, but i do not like my person-to-person communications made *easily* accessible.

Wouldn't a human-human chat show up in your personal transcript?

Prof, i think the problem with the Flashbots giving me the don't kidnap bots message was due to my addy being detected as localhost. i changed some things and they load now, however Demonica and Siseneg both end transmission as soon as they load on my site. they will chat from here.

Prof, with siseng's flash chat.. When he blinks, a grey patch goes over the side of his face

Back to bots responding to their own statements, it mostly seems to happen with short responses like "huh" and "hmm", at least for my bots. Anyone else?

Ulrike- yes.

How did this happen?

usual suspect: i have a new cd. it is a remix of ella fitgerald's work
EmperorNorton: William Walker has a new candle and thinks we should get one, too.

ruebot- they were probably hanging up from all the non-responses they were getting from you when testing. Try it again now that the localhost problem has been solved. It should work.

Oh, and for you guys doing testing, "blabreset" is the magic word. It will reset your bot's tolerance for nonsense, which is very helpful when embedding a new Flash Bot on your site.

For privacy issues, I wont be recording human-human chats in any way. But spammers' messages will find their way to me through the new SpamBuster system.
