It seems very cool!

Can _responseBot_ username be changed for an active user of the forum? That’s feeel more comfortable for new posters.

@satonotdead

Currently the username is hardcoded.

you can change it, but would need to make a copy of the repo and then load that repo

EDIT  
works like a charm

Thanks, I will try it 🙂

What about using default bot (we bot has name and avatar) or changing the avatar in Response Bot?

as an admin, you can change the bot’s avatar. Let me change it to system and see what it does.. change the bot id and now its using discobot 🙂
