feedback VII

Old thread was archived

Hello! Here's a page to post all of your feedback about sneakpeekbot!

edit:

Addressing some feedback:

  • Subscriber count in comment - I think it would be a good addition but the only place where I can insert that number is inside the bold "header" and I would like to keep the comment as small as possible to avoid any extra complaints of spam

  • You got the wrong sub! - In all of the cases I've seen, the mishap occurs because the original commenter edits their comment to fix what was likely a typo

  • Why isn't this opt-in? - The initial plan was to be opt-out for some period of time and then switch to opt-in but that plan has since changed because often times the person commenting the subreddit isn't interested in seeing the sneak peek but it does add value and benefit other people who come in to the thread later on. So it wouldn't work very well as a summon-bot in my opinion.

  • Message to delete a certain reply, message to blacklist, etc.: These are all planned. I just need to find a way to monitor the reddit inbox without dropping the new comments scan

This bot could be useful in certain circumstances, but it’s very irritating to have it reply to me when I’m referring people to a subreddit I often refer to with a name that’s self-explanatory in that context. I opted out.

This bot could be useful in certain circumstances,

hardly... the top posts appear at the top of the sub reddit, all someone would have to do is click on the link.
