To the right, we have all of the other chat bots that filter out commands in whatever channel it's stuck in.

That concludes the field trip class. I hope you had a wonderful experience.
Lol. You truly are a moron aren't you. I don't think Means insulted Xyphos, I think Xyphos took offense because Means didn't praise him and give him a pat on the back for his efforts; basically his pride got hurt because he relies on others opinions of himself to feel good.

His bot did a job, but to many people it spammed more then the credit spammers and in the end was more annoying and was the one to be ignored.

And by other chat bots I assume you mean org bots, which look for ! (most often) at the beginning of the command. This allows them to look at a 0,0 pos in the string and check if it's a ! (or whatever prefix you want) and if not then totally ignore it. That means, again, that a simple filter blocks chat before it hits the need to compare to a large DB.

So, Im-Perfekt, care to comment on the NPC quest givers and all the other arguments you're dropping like flies each time I respond?

Just face it, client-side chat filters do not work. Mereditche already posted a simple, and more effective solution then chat filters.
