Hi Özkan,
Yes there is a response limit, this is done to avoid account suspension.
( Currently, it's on the 7th account: @happiness2_u_7 )

The default rate of the Tweetbot gem is 20 out of 100,
which means there is a 1 in 5 chance the bot will respond to a phrase.
( tweetbot / lib / tweetbot / bot.rb => Line 6 => DefaultFrequency = 20 )

In Happinessbot (which uses the Tweetbot gem) this response rate is set to 1,
which means a 1 in 100 chance the bot will respond.
( happinessbot / run_bot.rb => Line 8 => config.response_frequency = 1 )

Hi, Ozkan,

It only responds to 1% of the matches it finds. This is to keep from
hitting the rate limit too quickly.

That is the part in run_bot.rb that sets the frequency

Yesterday I wanted to test the bot, however it haven't replied me back. Seems like it does not catch all greetings.

Is there a limitation, or random selection..?

Ok, now I see it, thank you guys for explanation. Btw, not all the files are open on GitHub, I guess (i.e.; the file bot.rb etc)?

HappinessBot relies on my tweetbot gem https://github.com/coreyhaines/tweetbot
That's where the majority of the actual code is. HappinessBot just
configures the twitter bot via run_bot.rb
