Recently, I began pursuing a goal of making a chatbot for our AskUbuntu General Room. One of the features I added to the bot was a filter that would run every minute, attempting to find any undesirable posts, like those containing the word mint
. If a post matches a keyword, the bot will post a message with the link to the question and the matching keywords.
Now, this feature is working pretty well, all things considered. Due to some magic and the community, we managed to get the false positive rate to drop a decent amount.
Given this, one of the issues that now surrounds the bot is where it should go. At the moment, there are two dissenting opinions:
Both of these options obviously have their upsides and downsides, but the bot can only technically be in one room because I am not a good coder. Therefore, I've opened this discussion up to the community as a whole, as this bot exists to help the community (while occasionally being fun?).
So... provided the bot should even move to an official room/position, where should it go?
