Check this out, ha -- the reddit RemindMeBot has added a link to message the creator of a duplicate bot which responds to the same trigger phrase in comment threads. Namespace clashes are interesting to me -- there's always talk about how quickly usernames get snapped up on a new service but I thought this was a slightly novel version of this kind of squabble.
I'm going to remove this - Tildes isn't a "side channel" for reddit, and an annoying bot on reddit isn't a significant event that would warrant discussion on its own.

Oh, really? I understand the point about avoiding being a reddit side channel -- but I submitted this because I thought it a superior example of the kinds of web design problem which I understand to interest the members of this forum.

As is, I think a link to a random comment and a remark like, "haha this bot uses the same trigger word as RemindMeBot" is too far on the "inside baseball" end and pretty meaningless to anyone that isn't deep enough into reddit to understand what that means.
I dunno, Ump, seems like a fast call. I believe the context is sufficiently evident, and the word "ha" does not indicate flippancy as I think you have assumed. I suppose I'll recompose as a text...
I dunno, Ump, seems like a fast call. I believe the context is sufficiently evident, and the word "ha" does not indicate flippancy as I think you have assumed. I suppose I'll recompose as a text post, but I think that pretends like the thought preceded the example, which it didn't.
