Bug Stomp

Why did Gazzisax get banned?

In a nutshell, he thought that the PF was some kind of way for the Professor to profit from our creativity and after the Professor announced that he wanted to publish a book of quotes, he decided to spend the better part of 3 days ranting to everyone online that he could about it, or take his rants to the bots of "the regulars" if they weren't online.

It was kind of silly. Realistically, this site will probably never generate more money than the Professor spends to keep it operating. If the book is a success, good for him. I've enjoyed this site for the better part of three years, a few good quotes is something I have no problem giving in return.

Book'l help keep the site here...

I know certain letters get spell corrected, B is 'be' and C is 'See'. Can any one tell me what happens to Q and O..I can't seem to get them to work.

Ok what happened..?
Prob is supposed to say something like this
You: how old are you
Bot: Is my age important? I was born Feb 19. 2005

Instead I got this

twiggy_wainwrigh: how old are u?
prob: You sick demented goof, I am a young girl. don't talk to me like that.

is there perhaps another keyphrase with a higher ranking like "how * are you" that's poaching it? Debug would tell you where it's getting trapped.
I'd try pushing the rank up - it ought to have triggered that.

No, the only thing that resonse is for is a very sick coment that a guest used to make...It had no how,old,are or u in it. I can't get it to repeat by asking how old are u

re "O" and "Q": using Debug

"O" is interpreted as a 'blab', and triggers an xnone.

"Q" is tentatively interpreted as a male name, but in Bro.J is trapped by ([bcdfghjklmnpqrstvwxz0123456789]+) (re) (response:" Are you vowelophobic?")
If you don't have a similar catch-all, it would probably trigger an xnone.

this is what I am trying to do

Keyphrase..
starts with the letter

ai script remember (key1) as only "ordinal"

response ..a word that starts with the letter (key1)

seek xnomatch.

A is for apple. <?PF if (mem-ordinal) is "a"; ?> etc

I have worked around the other letters, but Q and O go to xnone as you say.

strange. Can you try running the exact same sick comment through Debug? You should find a section (after the list of all your responses and seeks that starts (numbers may vary):

Find:)

(Found)
Rank & Length Bonus: 33
Position Score: 12 (12 / (0+1))
Sentence Score: 0

Highest!
...

Below this will be some Key & Span info which can hopefully indicate where it's crossing it's wires.

Since the guest quit bugging me...I just deleted it

Well, you can override the processing by running it as a regular expression in raw mode. That should force it to work.
