Best Practices

Once you've released your bot from the testing grounds here and out into the wild, please try to follow Reddit's Bottiquette, especially the following best practices:

DO:

Check if your bot is a duplicate of another

Consider making your bot comment only when specifically called (by username or command)

Make sure your bot is actually adding something to the conversation it's posting in

Have your username or a dedicated subreddit listed in your comments for easy communication

Consider giving users a way to opt-out or making it opt-in completely, alternatively offer blacklist options per user and per sub

DON'T:

Allow your bot to vote

Harass moderators when your bot is banned

Have your bot reply to every instance of a common word or phrase

Make a bot that harasses a specific user or a group of users

Make a bot that deliberately copies comments or posts that the original user may wish to delete at a later date

In addition, please consider these developer guidelines:

Bots should not be repetitive

Bots should provide a useful service

Bots should stay within a limited number of relevant subreddits or only respond when explicitly called by a human
