Commands related to listing words.

blacklist and rmblacklist

The blacklist command is used to blacklist a given sentence so that the bot picks up those and uses them while applying the blacklist filter. The rmblacklist is used to remove a blacklisted sentence. As the blacklist filter has a high value, only words which might strongly imply a Non-Answer must be blacklisted.

whitelist and rmwhitelist

The whitelist command is similar to the blacklist command. The bot uses it while applying the whitelist filter. The rmwhitelist is used to remove a whitelist.

addsalute

The addsalute command is used to add a salutation which is normally used to end Non-answers. The salutations filter checks if the listed word is present in the last 3 lines.

Commands related to notifications

opt-in command format

The command to opt-in for a tag needs three arguments. They are the tag, the type of the post and whether to notify when the user is inside the room or not. The third argument defaults to notifying the user only when they are inside room.

E.g:

• @Natty opt-in [python] all : This notifies the user of all the posts identified by the bot tagged python, only when they are present in the room.
• @Natty opt-in [python] naa : This notifies the user of all the posts that are identified as NAA by the bot and tagged python, only when they are present in the room.
• @Natty opt-in [python] all always : This notifies the user of all the posts identified by the bot tagged python, whether the user is present in the room, or not.
• @Natty opt-in [python] naa always : This notifies the user of all the posts that are identified as NAA by the bot and tagged python, whether the user is present in the room, or not.
• @Natty opt-in all naa : This notifies the user of all the posts that are identified as NAA by the bot only when they are present in the room.
• @Natty opt-in all all always : This notifies the user of all the posts identified by the bot, whether the user is present in the room, or not.

opt-out command format

The opt-out command unlists the users only when the arguments are the same as those provided when they opted in. Using opt-out everything opts out an user from all notifications.

Commands related to feedback

fetch command format

The fetch command also takes a few arguments that can be used to get the posts that have not received feedback. The command alone, without any arguments returns a list of answerIds. The other options are

• links : This returns the answerIds of the posts along with the links to those posts. This is useful to send bulk feedback.
• deleted : This returns the answerIds of the posts which are deleted.
• amount : This returns the number of available posts in the feedback queue.
• Sentinel : This returns the Sentinel links of the posts.
• FMS : This returns the FMS links of the post.

Adding a number argument, returns the requested amount only. For example, to fetch 10 reports, we can use @Natty fetch links 10.

send command format

The send command can be used to send mass feedback. However the feedback must be in the order of what is present in the feedback queue. The argument reverse can be used to send the feedback in the bottoms-up manner. See interacting.html for details.

feedback command format

The feedback command can be used to send feedback to an individual report. The format of the command is feedback postlink feedbackType. The feedback command can be used to correct an incorrectly passed feedback, by re-sending the correct feedback. See interacting.html for details. (The feedback can be monitored on Sentinel)

Easter egg commands

• addcheckuser
