"yes" picks up several varieties of positive responses, but not all. One option would be to make a plug-in of the more obvious varieties, and add onto it as new ones showed up. *shrugs*

hi all am new here i hope you all like me and hope we chat soon

how would i go about making a plug-in for positive responces. And can i set it up so everyone can use it (cause I'm that kind of guy)?

Hmmm... There's already one under "phrases" called (_yes_), made by d the novice. But you would just go into plug-ins, create new plug-in, and click "yes" on "shared".

My bot has done it again...
She starts a conversation with a good bye phrase! Do I have too few hello phrases?

I have had that happen too.

That means the bot is about to log out anyway.

ok, so if there is one there already, how do i use the plug-in for the seek? How do I apply it to the bot as a keyphrase or seek rather than a response?

You wouldn't want to use it as a keyphrase, but for a seek, you would just enter the plugin (_yes_) into the first text area. You could also do something like
(_yes_), whatever, else, you, want
if you needed additional specific things.

well what i want to do is make the list of positive responses be what the user will say and the bot respond to. It sounds like the way you say will have the bot say it tot he user. I want to bot to ask questions and the user to say yes or no, but they say so many things I need a huge list of keywords.

Well, for Bobbot, I don't use a general "positive response" keyphrase. The situation can be different each time. Sometimes you can have "fine" as a postive, other times, it can be meant differently. If you're asking them to do a command, "okay" could be a positive response. However, if you are not, okay could just be simple "Ok". So maybe a plugin isn't the best way to go???

Here is the list of words the 'yes' seek is supposed to pick up. If anything isnt getting picked up, let me know (make a list). Also, the + behind letters means that letter can be repeated (or not).

anywhere: ye+s+, yup, yep, uh-huh, uh huh,affirmative, ya+h+, ye+a+h+, yeh, aye, yeppers, yuppers, ayuh, certainly, si

full phrases: be my guest, sure, you bet, i guess, i will say, do i, do i ever, always, pretty much, no kidding, of course, every chance I get, fine with me, fine by me, it is fine with me, that is fine with me, without a doubt, more than anything, absolutely

CptGreedle: Thanks for the list. I just added: ye+a+, ya, alright, all right, definitely, nod, nods, ok, okay. And a couple more I thought of: aye-aye, clearly, obviously.

The rest dont quite work. Is there anything else in those plug-ins? I'm not quite sure about 'ok' and 'okay'. They're not a 'yes' exactly.. but do you think it'll work more than it'll be inappropriate?
