Title: A little oversensitive?
Post by: Fleexy on December 19, 2011, 12:32:46 PM
I think Hopebot is a little oversensitive when it comes to detecting swear words.  I'm not banned, but someone could eventually be banned for something like this.  Here is a log without any sort of modification:

Code: [Select]
13:26 <guest_55> Hello quick question what anti virus and malware software would you recommend 
13:26 <Hopebot> Both AVG and AVAST are good free anti-virus programs, links to AV review sites can also be found on http://www.computerhope.com/issues/ch000514.htm -- We also suggest having Malwarebytes (http://www.malwarebytes.org) also installed to help protect against malware. However, never install more than one anti-virus on the same computer.
13:26 <Fleexy> There may be websites that help... I currently am not having luck finding them.
13:26 <Fleexy> @55: I recommend avast!
13:26 <Hopebot> *WARNING # 1/3* Fleexy, Please watch your language. Continue to use profanity or inappropriate text (*censored*) and you will be kicked or banned.

Maybe I'm going blind, but I can't actually see "*censored*" anywhere in Fleexy's typing. Maybe I'd better not tell anyone I'm from Scunthorpe.

this is a clbuttic error, and it often buttbuttinates interpretation by most pbutterby's, in fact, it's fully possible that people could misinterpret that for genderual harbuttment.

I get it now. @55 is leet-write for "*censored*". Of course in Europe where I live, an *censored* is a donkey, but on the web, we all have to live by American standards, or so it seems.

I just got banned for saying solar plexus so I wouldn't say it's over sensitive I would say it's retarded. When is the last time you called someone a solar plexus or screamed out solar plexus when you bust your knuckles? I said it once and instantly got banned. Did it think plexus was *censored*? Is it that dumb?

No offense to Nathan's hard work on the bot, but HopeBot is the primary reason I don't idle in #computerhope. I find it curious why he decided to roll his own when there are so many available options for a channel bot (such as using EggDrop).

You've already posted this in another thread. Once is enough - unless you're looking for the same fate here, knock it off.... And I'm offended by your use of the word retarded.

You just said "*censored*", while complaining about being banned for profanity!
