R u chatting with a real person???

Everyone loves chatting…. and chatting with some one you don’t know is more interesting as the chance of meeting that person is very less …  Yahoo is one of the most popular chat engines..I like yahoo because it is very user friendly but I hate yahoo some times because of its poor moderation!!!! one in 7 members in the chat-room will not be a real person also called as chat-bots.

So how do you make sure that you are chatting with the human…… Below are some tips which can help you. All chat-bots have something common in them… Below are some examples of chat logs….

Shoban : Hi

alexa_23xglcb : Well hello there!
This is a bot!!!! search for the next person :-)  Don’t  waste your time  by continuing your chat!!

Shoban : Hi
Ram :       hi
Did you notice the space between the display name and “hi”?? Search for the next one..

Shoban : Hi
alaskenpp : howyadoin?
Do you see a different “Font color” other than black and “italics” …. Next step : End your chat and start searching for the next person

Shoban : Hi
ami_ash1 : Hey!!

Shoban : Hi
Ram : * My SPAM block is active * Start your PM with N O S P A M Without the spaces or it will be ignored.
Ignore this person

Shoban : Hi
Sam: Hi!
Do you notice the mixed colors? You can be sure that this is a chat bot!

I have also noticed that some chat-bots greet with text in a particular colour and font. No use continuing your chat a person who sends “hi” (Font : Arial, Color: Dark red/maroon, all small letters

In some cases asking a question which has no meaning also helps like the ones shown below
