Are you the one that created this bot on reddit?

Creating a bot to spam your own website is obviously against the site rules. I see most of your posts on Hacker News are similarly promotional.
- rhaksw 7y agoPromotion through censorship is what I meant to tackle when building the site, so I'm sorry if you feel the bot or citing it on HN is too promotional. Isn't this the place for sharing such work? If not here, where? The bot itself only responds once per user or thread, and I've already blacklisted some subreddits per suggestions [1]. Feel free to pm me at u/rhaksw if you would like to discuss it further. [1] https://www.reddit.com/wiki/bottiquette https://www.reddit.com/wiki/bottiquette
- SquareWheel 7y agoYour bot violates multiple rules of bottiquette: >[Please don't] write bots that reply to comments or send private messages without solicitation. >[Please don't] have your bot reply to every instance of a common word or phrase It also violates the site's self-promotion guidelines. It's a spambot, plain and simple. I have reported it as such.
- rhaksw 7y agoThe site reflects users' own data, and I built it without pay. There are no ads. I am sorry you are upset about it.
