Subject: Automatically ignoring other bots/overly noisy people
Wishlist: Bot::BasicBot should recognise when it's being to noisy in response to a particular user and then ignore that user until the user utters a magic phrase to unignore that user. For example, if two bots get in a loop, one answering the other, then after (say) the fourth response to a user in under two seconds the bot should announce that it is ignoring that user (as it thinks they're a bot) until the user utters the magic phase. The exact criteria for what consitutes too noisy should be placed in another method so that they can be overriden.
