in thread super slow

I just tried. The chatterbot account got auto-locked, and now doesn't work at all.

Already send message to gods. I'd really appreciate if someone could unlock that account, and maybe even grant it some fake karma points so the system doesn't lock the account every other time i update that damn node.

    unlock that account

    Done. I am investigating a better solution.

        I assume changing the chatterbot homenode owner to me would also not be possible or create all sorts of other problems

        I would assume so, too. But at the same time, I assume not necessarily. Let's try it. :-)

        Update: Done. Let me know how it goes.

    I liked ++ambrus's suggestion in the CB -- once the gods re-enable chatterbot, start posting chatterbot-related announcements from that account rather than from the cavac account, so that the bot can earn some well-deserved XP.

    Also, if the gods changed the owner of nodes like New last hours of cb, CB stats, Chatterbox KARMA support, Chatterbot update, Chatterbot update (same node name, different conversation), (and the cavac-replies following), would those XP immediately transfer from cavac to chatterbot? Or would the bot only receive new upvotes going forward and the original owner would keep the existing XP? Because if the XP transferred immediately, it might be worth the quick-boost to the bot's XP to chown those nodes. Of course, such an XP-transfer from a chown would minorly reduce cavac's duly-earned XP, so such a transfer would have its cost, and thus the chown/XP-exchange should only happen if cavac and the gods both agree to the change in XP...

    Then again, the gods do have the power to grant fiat XP as well, so maybe such convoluted machinations aren't worth it when a much simpler fix would suffice.

      start posting chatterbot-related announcements from that account

      No, please don't. The bot isn't responsible for the announcements, the human is. Bots don't get XP.

      if the gods changed the owner of nodes like . . . would those XP immediately transfer

      No, not automatically; but we could transfer the XP manually if we deemed it appropriate. Which we wouldn't in this case; see above.

      Thank you for thinking about this problem! Many eyes, and all that...
