@AlexDaniel perhaps it'd make sense either disable the feature (through I like it a lot), or reduce it to support bare Thanks
, Thank you
, etc. with not continuation.
Ha-ha! I didn't even notice it :joy:
The assumption was that most bots don't take free text, and it's unlikely that your code or command will start with âThanksâ. But there's a notable exception⊠:rofl:
I think a simple addition of <!before âtoâ>
can resolve this issue. Whateverable bots are very lax and try to do what you mean in many cases, and that's by design. Of course there are edge cases when a message can trick the bots to do something else, but they're more of conversationalists than precise tooling. Anyway, I keep track of these situations here: https://github.com/perl6/whateverable/wiki/Humor
So yeah, I'd prefer to improve the heuristic instead of removing the easter egg/feature.
People can thank the whateverable bots, but the regex detecting this is so lax that, for instance, notable swallowed a weekly note today with thanks for someone else:
