[QUESTION] What does "User %s is attempting recursion" mean? #12

So I was going through the source code, and saw these lines, but I dont get what they do or what the "recursion" feature is

It's supposed to stop the bot from answering to itself, because people might try to get the bot to say something that will be registered as A prompt to the bot, creating an infinite loop and DOSing the bot.

True, and to add to that, the bot was already designed in a way that wouldn't allow it to respond to itself and create loops like that. I just noticed certain people trying it, so I wrote in that response as a sort of easter egg. :)
