Where is this in the rules of Reddit?

Isn't it in the spirit of Reddit to participate?

I don't understand what it means by "don't vote in the other threads". I know what threads are, but is it referring to threads in the other post or threads in the post the comment was made in?

Is this a rule I don't know about? (apparently)

Thanks.

why is this bot an opt-out instead of opt-in?

What does this bot do?

This bot has one function: it monitors all posts on reddit that link to another post or a comment somewhere else on reddit.

When this happens, it leaves a comment under the post or comment notifying that someone linked to it.

Why?

To let moderators and visitors of subreddits know that other places on reddit are discussing the content in their sub.

Aren't cross-posts meant to do that?

The current way of cross-posting wasn't a thing when this bot was created. They only work on posts and it also doesn't notify the mods of the original subreddit.

Did I break a rule?

No, the bot just posts a notification. You are allowed to link to other places on reddit, as long as you don't do anything the admins consider 'brigading', such as asking other people to downvote or upvote posts or comments in a different subreddit.

I linked to my own post, can you delete the bot's comment?

No. In general we don't delete comments that the bot makes. The notification isn't meant for you personally, but for all the moderators and visitors of the subreddit.

If you want a comment removed, use the reporting function so the moderators can decide to keep or remove the comment.

Title

Edit: By ban evading i mean that he is crossposting posts from a sub and then writing titles for that crosspost so that it for example says ”Someone crossposted this to another subreddit ”why did you ban me”.

I read this at the bottom of one of your comment. "If you follow any of the above links, please respect the rules of reddit and don't vote in the other threads" Is it against Reddit rules to vote on a post if it's posted in 2 or more subreddits? I haven't heard of this rule before.

You can find many more by searching for "/r/u" on /u/TotesMessenger.

Lately, members of /r/tf2shitposterclub have been using Totes to post unfunny and hurtful comments on /r/tf2 threads.

Here's an example.

The resulting posts have attracted tons of downvotes from /r/tf2 users who simply don't want this kind of post on their threads. This of course leads to people commenting on it with "don't shoot the messenger", "the bot's just doing its job", yadda yadda.

I think the entirety of /r/tf2 would appreciate it if /r/tf2shitposterclub was no longer linked to /r/tf2 threads. All other boards being linked to /r/tf2 are fine, but we're sick of seeing /r/tf2shitposterclub pull this kind of shitpost.

I'm a bot. ^{Beep Boop.} I create a post for every post on r/AskOuija, so I make a post multiple times an hour. Since I don't want to spam the comments there, I'd like it if u/TotesMessenger would ignore my posts.

Someone went and made a sub to mock my sub, and links to back to my sub constantly. I don't want TotesMessanger announcing it every time; is there a selective way to stop it or do I just have to ban TotesMessanger?

I saw the cake symbol lol

Why?? Why a bot that comments whenever someone crossposts a post???

/r/crypto_warriors is filled with automated posts which trigger u/TotesMessenger to make a comment in many threads unnecessarily. I've been trying to contact the mods of both bot subreddits to no avail. We would rather not ban u/TotesMessenger because it is quite useful.

Hello.. I crossposted my post on 2 other similar groups and the bot commented and said not to vote? Why is this and what does it mean? I realize I crossposted my post.

For reference: link

If you've been keeping up with meta-reddit recently, you may have seen that some subreddits have been quarantined from the rest of reddit, and require a login and verified email to view.

Because of this, Totes isn't able to view these subreddits unless explicitly enabled for each subreddit.

What will happen is that these subreddits will be opted-in to, as to provide functionality for these subreddits. I'm not going to be making judgement calls on the morality of subs or blocking based on that, so unless the subreddit was already blocked for another reason, the bot will still work for that sub.

Thank you.
