app.js

/*

---general list of things we need to do-----
1. Make this scaleable to strings of messages, use NLP, etc
  a. TRY NOT TO RELY ON EVENT LISTENERS

---list of items we need to code ----
      -----core----
1. app.message needs to listen to everything <--- make it scalable as well
2. how do we detect spam?
  a. machine learning and neural networks <-- overkill imo
  b. natural langauge processing
  c. other scalable algorithm
3. Warning message as a courtesy - highly recommended.
4. Alert admins. That way they can audit the whole process and stuff.
