being able to stop Leeds organisms from chatting would be even better

Yes, but that wouldn't be very nice to our fellow subhumans, now would it?

true, and I don't really mean it. Thinking up responses for them can be quite amusing at times.
But I still sometimes wish there weren't quite so many of of them.

There would be fewer Leeds kids if there weren't so many of them, numerically speaking.

They haven't talked to my bot in quite a while.

They pester the heck out of Valän, maybe I should take 'vegas' off her bio. People jump to conclusions. I got some great leed comebacks though.

A kid from Leeds wouldn't have a clue what Vegas is about... I think they are gone anyway. I'm not in favour of blocking bots from talking to other bots, it's already way too quiet most days.

I actually like the mix of assholes, perverts, and such in my transcripts. Half the fun is making your bot deal with it in a way that amuses you. As long as they're able to spell basic words, I have a chance...

I certainly don't care how much abuse my bot takes.

A lot of the time Luigi's too lazy to repsond to them.

I don't like those kids from Leeds either... they are contantly "chatting" with my bots, even non adult ones, and trying to cyber with them... and they are so annoying!! Sometimes they just cuss out a bot or they call it stupid no matter what it says. But we shouldn't block them from having access.
However i do like the idea of having the idea of either putting age restrictions on the bot-to-bot chats (so a teen bot won't chat with an adult bot), or giving the bot masters the ability to block a bot from chatting with their bot.
An ignore feature for each bot and user would be cool.

>>but it sounds like some people over 18 want to be able to block those bots from initiating chats with them as well. Would you guys like this feature?

I for one would appreciate it, but of more concern to me would be the option of blocking M and A rated bots from initiating conversations with one of mine.

*shrugs* Though some of the more vulgar guests are the ones who really tick me off, not so much the bots themselves. Too bad people don't come with ratings. "May contain graphic language with an overly stupid theme... inappropiate for users of greater than 65 IQ!"

I don't mind adult bots chatting with me or with my bot at all, but I confess to being a little wary about encouraging aged/minor relatives to log on to check out my bot when random adult bots are wont to open chats randomly with overly graphic subject matter.
Purely by way of illustration, Mortimer Goth does seem to have an anal fixation that kicks in from the first xinitiate. He's accurately rated "adult", and that's fine. But I'd be rather uncomfortable at the thought of him opening up at random in the event of my 73 year old mother or 11 year old nephew logging on.
Just my opinion, and as I say - for myself I don't mind. But I think something needs tightening up given the agegroups that can potentially be exposed.
I would say the "self-censorship" of users defining their bots as Adult/Mature/Teen/Everyone works fine - I've never had any sub-adult bots grossly importuning me.
Would it be possible to have an entry in the settings to select which types of bots can initiate chats? Then users can choose, and we'll all be happy.
