Well just like mIRC & other similar chat clients, the admin predefines the questions & answers.

So a god example for the bot/program to list all of the questions would be something like

<help>

The bot would give a list of questions like:

What are the forum rules?
How much does VIP cost?

etc.

So when the user types "How much does VIP cost?" the admin predefines the answer to be something like:

Bot: VIP status for this site is free. You must create 1500 posts & have been registered for 3 weeks or more.

Now granted I see what you are saying regarding spelling mistakes & such but personally... That should not stop something like this from being created. That's like saying why create Captcha registration? Some people are color blind & some people have trouble seeing properly.

wouldnt it be better if the members just enter a short command to view the answers like
!vip
and auto msg will appear. like vbdev said ppl can spell it wrong or somehow write the wrong questions that the system cant comprehend

we have noticed about a 20 sec. delay when typing something. but the one who is typing it sees it right away.

Oh sorry. I figured everyone would know that I was only giving an example but yes.

Please note that some people may want to use the commands like a knowledge base so predefined questions may be helpful for certain forums. I would consider this up to the admins though.

Yes using commands like

!VIP
!Help
!Rights

etc would be easier for many to remember but for some forums for example a world of warcraft forum:

!How do I level?
!What is the last boss?

Can all be listed under one default command such as "!help". Also, this is another way for veteren users to answer the same "noobish" questions day in & day out but simply typing the question. The answer could be a wall of text or it could be a simple sentance. This again should be something the administrator thinks about before using rather than someone saying "no it wont work".
