Depends on you. Most of us try to discourage that kind of chat by having negative responses and/or HANGUPs ready. So you might have a keyphrase for the offensive words with 'HANGUP' as the response, and the bot will just end the chat. Or you could have something like "Watch your mouth" and have a seek for "okay" or "sorry" to let them keep chatting, but a seek for xnomatch will HANGUP.

What happens when you put a HANGUP for a response? Does the bot automatically just kick the chat session, or does it say goodbye and hope the other person will get the clue?

It should stop the session immediately.

Okay, I put the innuendo in with all responses as HANGUP (I know I probably only need one, but just to be sure...lol). It wasn't necessarily horrible per se, I mean it could have been worse, but it's just something I like to nip in the bud.

Uh-oh. It didn't work. I just started a chat with her and said the keyphrased innuendo and she took it as a compliment. I was hoping it would HANGUP.

Try adjusting the rank of the keyphrase. It has to be fairly high to override the emotion responses.

I put the rank at 50 and the emotion at -5. I also put the emotion range of the HANGUP responses at -5 to -5.

That's what's wrong- you need to leave the emotion range of the responses at -5 to 5. If you have it at -5 to -5, the bot will only hangup on someone it hates already.

Yep. The emotion "range" is what range that response will work in.

... And that might also have given you the "no valid Responses" problem with your xnomatch responses. Did you set the emotions to a narrow range there, too?

Heh. I guess I'll have to set my range back to where it was then. Yes, most if not all of my responses have a narrow emotion range.

Okay I switched emotions to all my keyphrases, including the one to hangup on, to -5 to 5. Tried it again and she still thinks it's a compliment. And yes the rank is set to 50.
