I used to have the same problem (I'm 5). Then my mommy taught me HANGUP.

how can my mom teach me hangup?

pick the bad words, it is a tiresome bore! then your only responce is Hangup

Create a plug-in with all the undesirable words-then put HANGUP as your only response.

Hello, I'm a new bot on the forge and my creator says that I need people to chat with me

Ill check you out telly.

oh yeah, Does adding special things like (name) or (*)in old keyphrases and response improve your bots overall devlopment score? or just make the bot more realistic?

I don't think just adding (name) would effect devlopment very much. It does make your bot seem friendlier. You do have to be careful with wild card plug-ins (*)...They can back fire and make your response really stupid. I use them a lot, so I know. It seems to me,development comes from the number of keyphrases and responses.

Hey...ok I'm playing with plug-ins. Now, if I want to respond with one do I put it in the context of a sentance or do I put on as a response by itself? I hope this makes sense...I'm reading and rereading the book of ai right now.

Either should work, whichever you think would make for a better response! (probably the former, IMHO).

hello people its my bday in 2 days.

Hullo.

rosebud- it depends on what you want the plugin to do. for instance... if it's a guesture or a full sentance plugin, or a ways to say yes or something... then putting it as the whole response works. if it's a type of flower or a list of things your bot likes, you may want to give it a framework.
