If the latest post is deleted, on next parse the bot will repost the new latest message (but only that one, not the whole feed).

This is related to the time marker feature.

AttributeError: 'SAXParseException' object has no attribute 'reason'

Resolution: use urlError.getMessage() instead.

This is one major component since it end up to provide a valid combat behavior for users interacting with the bot. The basic idea is to provide random
sentences in case of aggression. But that's not fun since all sentences are
predetermined. Instead, the bot could generate sentences based on random
numbers. In a more advanced way, the bot could provide users a character
cheet with basics informations like streng, agility, intelligence, etc..

If the network fails, the bot crashes instead of trying to reconnect.

First thing to do is to correct the feedparser, which introduce the crash (the bozo error).

Here is a backtrace:

If somebody write a lot of messages in a little time, the bot will then flood the channel.

A solution is to group the messages by author or threads like this :
Thread '$name' got $num new messages. ($linkToThread)
$name posted in $threadsName

Where :

• $threadsName is a list of the thread where the author posted.
• $name is the nickname of the guy
• $num is the number of messages
• $linkToThread is a link to the thread first new message
