Yeah, after a conversation gets deep and you chain it, you can get it to keep on going. Not a worry for us as we host the models ourselves, so we don’t pay per token anyway. We also analyze all conversations on Ask daily and can ban any bad actors. The forum moderation flow is still the same.
If you want even more control than what the system prompt gives you, you can try some approaches:
Workflows
Our new workflow plugin would allow you to do a 2-pass on every message, first with an agent evaluating if a message should be replied to, then another conditionally replying.
Fine-tuned models
The most surefire way to control is to deploy a model that is actually trained with the behavior you want.
This is easy with Discourse AI, as we allow you to pick and choose LLMs for each agent.
