indeed it would be interesting to see what motivates ppl to be rude
 
I think it has been noted in the literature that sometimes ppl will try
out 'alternative' personae, i.e. try out things that they wouldn't dare
do in the Real World, unbound by social conventions, as such, online
 
I agree though that rather than ban ppl maybe your bot could offer them
advice on being polite and try to persuade them to be more constructive
?
 
cheers
 
Tim

	Depends on the interpreter, but generally yes (unless they're
behind NAT or
	something)
	
	> Also, can I restrict access to my bot from someone who has
wasted my time
	by abusive text?
	
	Not really, ip-banning doesn't work too reliably (not everyone
has their own
	IP). But why would you want it? I mean, unless you're easily
offended by bad
	language and don't want to read it, incorporating reactions to
rude users
	and bad language is a part of botmastering too. Even if the bot
tells the
	people to go away, it at least reacts to every possible input.
No time
	writing a bot is ever wasted. What kind of bot are you writing?
	
	You might want to discuss this with your virtual friends, find
out why they
	talked to tot that way. It would be interesting to know what
motivates
	people to talk dirty to a bot if they seem nice otherwise.
