How people react when they see a website chat for first time

See below few examples of people reacting crazy when they see my live chat widget, if they don’t know whenever they talk with a human or a robot.

See how chatting with website visitors works. The only robot/automatic message is the initial greeting that I configured to appear after 1-5 min delay depending by page. There is no automatic reply system. Any answer you get is written by a human.

Some complained about the system with greetings, BUT… if this greeting would not pop-up, most visitors do not realize that there is a “live help” available, 90% of chats are started to this automatic greeting, only 10% of chats the visitor send me messages by his own. There is possible to send messages manually, but who does have time to watch visitors list and do this? Even if I do, they are mostly ignored like automatic ones.

The funniest cases are when the visitor send me stupid messages without such greeting to appear.

Anyone have suggestion how to deal with such people?

Talking for 5 min and still believing that he is talking with a ROBOT?

This was one of the first FUNNY people I came across. I added chatbox (SnapEngage) in January 2012 and switched to Zopim Chat on 30 May 2012. At the time he contacted me (23 and 24 May 2012) I had just about 100-200 people who contacted me so far)

Chat transcript:
(16:23:41) Teoalida Hello, I am not a robot, I am the website admin, I made this chat to can talk with Visitors … How I can help you? Do you have any questions? Reply here to start a live chat with me!
(16:23:41) Visitor Is this thing automated?
(16:23:51) Visitor Hello?
(16:23:55) Teoalida What to be automated?
(16:24:06) Visitor Are you a real person?
(16:24:12) Teoalida What do you think?
(16:24:19) Teoalida C’mon test me
(16:24:32) Visitor What is your hair color?
(16:24:44) Teoalida black, why matters that?
(16:25:12) Visitor How black is it? Pure black or with a slight grayish tint to it?
(16:25:30) Teoalida aka brunette
(16:26:01) Visitor How often do you log in?
(16:26:12) Teoalida where to log in?
(16:26:21) Teoalida I am online every evening
(16:26:25) Visitor How often do you use the computer? Do you sleep?
(16:26:34) Teoalida But what is all this…
(16:26:43) Teoalida How old are you?
(16:26:55) Teoalida Are you still believe that you talk with a robot?
(16:27:27) Visitor An artifically intelligent robot.
(16:27:53) Teoalida Visitors of all other pages talk with me normally…. only Visitors of Gaming-related pages ignore the chat pop-up or behave crazy
Live chat transcript times in GMT.

He disconnected while I was typing, explaining him how the chat works. Maybe I shall give a link, to check www.snapengage.com, maybe he would understand.

I posted a screenshot of above conversation in Chatting with website visitors page as example of idiot calling me robot.

On 3 November 2012, a random visitor talking crazy, he set same name like me and repeat my message. He called me NO-LIFER that sits at computer 24/24 just because he visited me 3 times in American morning when is evening at me so I am always home and online. So, who visit my website when I am online call me no-lifer, who visit my website while during my sleep hours, may not believe that someone WILL be ever online! Dear idiots, please visit me in morning, evening and night, before saying that I sit at computer 24/24.

Then BIG SURPRISE, he said that that the screenshot posted in Chatting with website visitors is actually him!

[20:24] Teoalida: Hello from website admin, if you need any help or just want to chat, reply here!
[20:24] Visitor: This chatbox is so annoying…
[20:25] Visitor is now known as Teoalida
[20:25] Teoalida has joined the conversation

[20:25] Teoalida: or the chat published in this page
[20:25] Visitor Teoalida: or the chat published in this page
[20:25] Teoalida: You can minimize it if don’t need me
[20:25] Visitor Teoalida: You can minimize it if don’t need me
[20:26] Teoalida: It seems as if Teoalida spends 100% of his/her time on the computer, non-stop, everyday. I wonder if Teoalida has a life outside the computer life.
[20:27] Teoalida: btw, why do you set same name like me?
[20:27] Visitor Teoalida: I don’t know.
[20:27] Teoalida: What proof do you have that my life is o computer?
[20:27] Teoalida: Just because my website shows the virtual life?
[20:27] Teoalida: Want to see me with friends? go on Facebook
[20:28] Teoalida: btw… new website www.teoalida.com/category/thesims2
[20:28] Visitor Teoalida: Well, let me see. Every time I visit this website, I see this little pop-up chatbox that says that Teoalida is ready to chat with you. It’s kind of freaky.
[20:28] Teoalida: because that’s how it works http://teoalida.webs.com/apps/blog/entries/show/16354975-chatting-with-website-visitors
[20:29] Teoalida: I can send you a message only after you send me one
[20:29] Teoalida: without that greeting, people would not send me any message
[20:30] Visitor Teoalida: I see.
[20:30] Teoalida: What I could do?
[20:30] Visitor Teoalida: “Is this automated?” LOL. XD
[20:30] Visitor Teoalida: “Are you a fucking robot?” XD LOLOLOL.
[20:31] Teoalida: that happens with kids
[20:32] Teoalida: Every time I visit this website, I see this little pop-up chatbox <— EVERY time? I see that this is your first visit
[20:33] Teoalida: and if you visit my website in evening you no longer see me online because I go to sleep
[20:33] Visitor Teoalida: Haha! I can’t believe you actually posted a screenshot of my conversation with you! I’m actually the person who had a conversation with you and you posted this screenshot under “Funny-stupid chat with an idiot”.
[20:34] Teoalida: Sorry but I can’t know who are you
[20:34] Teoalida: all what I see is that you had just 1 website visits (current one)
[20:35] Visitor Teoalida: I was using a public computer. 😛
[20:35] Teoalida: Are you any of the people who talked with me in the past?
[20:35] Visitor Teoalida: Still, you must SIT at your computer.
[20:35] Visitor Teoalida: Yes.
[20:36] Teoalida: Tell me something about what we talked, otherwise I can’t remember
[20:36] Visitor Teoalida: I asked you what hair color you have.
[20:36] Visitor Teoalida: You replied black.
[20:37] Teoalida: if in this century, computers are the workplace for most people… what is your proposal?
[20:37] Teoalida: Really? you are THAT person?
[20:37] Teoalida: That times I was using SnapEngage, now I found that Zopim is better
[20:37] Visitor Teoalida: I see.
[20:37] Teoalida: different chat service, can’t track visitors of past one
[20:38] Teoalida: If you didn’t closed SnapEngage window in that moment, you maybe would understand how this works
[20:39] Teoalida: That’s why I use Zopim…. closing chat window do not disconnect from chat
[20:39] Visitor Teoalida has left the conversation

I regret that I did not told him “Hey, do you ever heard of SMARTPHONES? We no longer need to sit at computer to be online!

(7:27:41 PM) *** Teoalida has joined the chat ***
(7:27:46 PM) Teoalida: only initial greeting is robot
(7:28:05 PM) Visitor 33669571: I would like to chat with someone…
(7:28:23 PM) Teoalida: https://www.teoalida.com/cardatabase/contact/
(7:28:31 PM) Visitor 33669571: here?
(7:28:32 PM) Teoalida: Do you stay at computer all time to greet visitors and answer questions?

NO! The chat software is greeting visitors automatically as long someone is online. Only if you type a message in chat, I get sound alert of incoming chat. I stay ONLINE as long I am home and not sleeping, but I do not always stay at computer, and if you send a message I run to computer to answer you as fast I can. Of course this is not always possible, 5% of chats remain unanswered. But you can always leave your email address where you answer your questions when I return to computer.
(7:29:12 PM) Visitor 33669571: So, whom am I chatting with now?
(7:29:24 PM) Teoalida: www.zopim.com if you want to see more how is working
(7:29:25 PM) Visitor 33669571 has changed their name to Ramy.
(7:29:31 PM) Teoalida: this is one-person website
(7:31:38 PM) Teoalida: instead of being concerned if the chat is robot or human, just say how I can help you?
(7:33:10 PM) Teoalida: IN SHORT: The chat provided by www.zopim.com is greeting automatically all visitors, only if you send me a message, I can send you messages manually and answer questions. 9 of 10 chats were initiated by this greeting, without it, people would not notice that there is a live chat available. Are you against automation?
(7:36:54 PM) Ramy: I am for automation in matters that do not require human interaction. Chatting and talking is an activity that requires human interaction. Sweeping the floor and assembling car parts do not require human interaction.
(7:36:58 PM) Teoalida: the “robot” CANNOT answer questions, but just greet people
(7:37:09 PM) Teoalida: so any answer is mine, a human
(7:37:23 PM) Ramy: Great. My name is Ramy, what is yours?
(7:37:35 PM) Teoalida: just call me Teoalida like domain name
(7:37:46 PM) Ramy: ?

(7:38:50 PM) Ramy: it is weird that you do not want to disclose your name…
(7:38:57 PM) Ramy: I disclosed mine…

(8:23:35 PM) Visitor 88863483: I don’t need help obviously I do need to message you because you didn’t understand no
(8:23:45 PM) Visitor 88863483: I DON’T NEED HELP
(8:24:03 PM) Visitor 88863483: so don’t reply
(8:24:09 PM) Teoalida: FAQ: do you stay at computer all time to greet visitors and answer questions?

NO! The chat bot pop-up and greet visitors automatically, as long I am online. Only if you type a message in chat, my computer (or phone) rings, I do not always stay at computer but when it rings I run to computer to answer you. The bot only greet visitors, cannot read your messages and reply, any reply you see is human, written by me.

This is why you may see chat pop up multiple times if you visit website repeatedly. If chat did not pop-up many customers would not even realize that there is a chat available. If you do not need help, just close chat pop-up, do not reply “no thanks” because you will make my computer ringing unnecessarily, or I stop in middle of street and pull out phone from pocket for no reason.

(8:24:56 PM) Visitor 88863483: you should put that first so people know. sorry
(8:25:14 PM) Teoalida: put first where?
(8:25:45 PM) Visitor 88863483: like hi this is_____ and put the infromation you just sent me when you start the chat
(8:25:47 PM) Teoalida: do you mean to write like this “Hello visitor from United States, welcome to my The Sims fan page… if you need any help or just want to chat, drop here a message! If you don’t need any help, just fucking close this chat and don’t write any message here”
(8:26:08 PM) Visitor 88863483: wow the customer service her is awful
(8:26:23 PM) Visitor 88863483: no need to be mean
(8:26:32 PM) Visitor 88863483: just was trying to help
(8:26:40 PM) Visitor 88863483: bye bye sorry to make you upset
(8:26:49 PM) Teoalida: other websites use a message “hi, sorry for intrerrupting you but we want to show that we are online. Do you need any help?”
(8:27:02 PM) Teoalida: I am afraid that this will make even more people to say NO
(8:28:18 PM) Teoalida: but now depends… if they have dedicated customer service employees staying 8 hours/day at computer in shifts, may be no problem to get lots of “no” replies. But for me, being a simple boy living alone who have other things to do around home, may be annoying
(8:30:11 PM) Teoalida: fortunately now been at computer
