Phrase Bot pausing function required

I configured the phrase bot to react on "phrases" and display the bot message.

But the bot never stops or pauses the reaction. It's very annoying, if users repeat words like in 10 chat messages, so the bot reacts 10 times after every mention of the word. That's annoying.

It would be great, if the bot only reacts on a defined word f.e. only once every 5 or 10 minutes (configurable for each phrase or globally).

To enhance this suggestion, this is the very most requested change by my members. :) 

I really love the bot ideas and would like to do a lot more with it, but the always repeating bot communication just makes my members trying to bash me for introducing bots....

So additionally to the very highly requested pause function for the phrase bot, there could also be alternative messages, that could be randomly selected...

This way, the bot would at least change its responses and deliver some more finegrained variety to artificial communication....

one of the reasons i expanded the bots in 3, was to address this sort of issue as bots were originally an "after thought" (same with commands) than were entirely thought out features.

Muchas gracias! This would be awesome, terrific, paramount... :)

... and silence all the "bot spammers"

I don't know how other communities handle this situation, but I just checked the live chat implementation, and we always have spammers, that trigger the bots every 20 messages, and other members go crazy and leave the chat due to this situation. Solution for bot pausing is highly appreciated.
