  • The bot is also being used by mods to monitor any posts flagged by the bot. I am working on a discord version of that system, so that's still a work in progress.

  • The purpose of the bot is to make the poster aware of the rule, so they can edit the post. I don't personally see how one comment "trashes up the comment section". Another reason for not deleting the posts it detects, is because it's a bot, and bots make mistakes.

    Let me know if you have any more feedback (:

  • I'm the maker of the bot, and I'm sorry you feel that way. The reason many news communities have these kinds of rules, is because mods don't have time to check if the title is a good representation of the article. If you disagree with the rule, you might want to contact the mods, they can alter the rules and the bot to not enforce such a rule. Let me know if you have any questions.
