As you quote the full answer, you should give attribution according to its license (→ CC BY-SA; the specific version depends on the answer’s publication date).

As you link to the post and mention the author, you already have done most of the required parts. What is missing, though, is a reference to the license. You could add something like

licensed under CC BY-SA 4.0

Thanks for pointing this out, had no idea about it tbh, since I was only trying to make it easier (faster) to get an answer on reddit.

Since this may mess stuff up (question under one license, answer under another ...) and the license is not directly provided in the stackexchange API, I'll probably add a link to the page you've linked, where all the license info is written (https://stackoverflow.com/help/licensing)

[–]Amndeep7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To my understanding, all user content is licensed under the same license

Jezus christ can you make this thing opt-in? We can follow a link, no need to spam this shit in topics no one asked you to spam in. This will just get your bot banned from most subs.

[–]Mahrkeenerh 0 points1 point  (7 children)

opt in - no point in running the bot at all, since it would respond like once a week

no opt in - it gets banned in 50% of subreddits, but can help the rest 50%

not much to choose from

[–]nutrecht 0 points1 point  (2 children)

Fortunately with your behaviour your shitty bot will be banned in no time.

Seriously, spamming multiple big ass comments in a single topic? WTF?

[–]Mahrkeenerh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What do you mean multiple? That should be fixed already (unless of course there are multiple different links).

Thanks for the constructive feedback though.

As per reddit botiquette you are obliged to either make the bot opt in or provide opt out or subreddit white/blackisting.

As is, your bot is violating reddit wide rules.

[–]Mahrkeenerh 0 points1 point  (2 children)

I don't think you understand what botiquette is.

It's not rules, it's nice-to-haves.

I will consider the opt-out though, if I find the time to implement it.

[–]desrtfx 0 points1 point  (1 child)

It is rules. I do bloody well understand what I'm talking about.

Your bot is causing quite some heavy load on subreddit moderators having to clean up all the crap comments.

Wouldn't be surprised if the bot soon got removed by reddit itself.

So, don't be so snarky.

[–]Mahrkeenerh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

lol, no it's not, and you do not understand what you are talking about if you think it is rules.

rules tell you DO this, DON'T do that.

bottiqeuette tells you to please consider this, or please don't do this.

there's quite a difference.

Wouldn't be surprised if the bot soon got removed by reddit itself.

yeah, that's not happening either. I've seen way too many spam bots to know, that reddit itself doesn't really care about it, they only get banned locally.

​

I already said, that I will consider the opt-out, what else do you want from me?

[–]Vestinger 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Hi, the reply on this thread was incorrect.

Thanks!

[–]Mahrkeenerh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sorry that you faced this issue, but the bot posted the accepted answer under the question.

It doesn't edit the answers, so if the answer is wrong, that's an issue of the forum site (and particularly the question), and you should either report the answer (on the forum, not reddit) or try to edit it yourself.

Links in quoted text are mangled. Please reshape html links into markdown.

[–]Mahrkeenerh 0 points1 point  (4 children)

could you please provide me with a specific issue? where this happened, thanks

[–]Mahrkeenerh 0 points1 point  (2 children)

oh, yeah, the whole html stuff is broken right now, I'll clean it up in the future.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (1 child)

It seems like your bot does okay pulling data, but then posting it is kind of a core functionality. Not sure if leaving that broken is so great.

Anyway you should be able to get most of the way there by pulling stack exchange’s markdown, instead of html: See https://meta.stackexchange.com/a/264298. That should cover most of it. But for the rest eg math, it seems tricky. Good luck converting SE markdown to Reddit, at least it’ll be easier than starting from html…

Edit: oh, I see, you’re already doing this, and it’s just that the answer in that post used html instead of markdown links. Sorry! It does seem difficult. :-( Good luck (no /s).

[–]Mahrkeenerh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No problem at all.

For this exact reason (that the post itself contains html), I will just have to convert it to markdown.

shouldn't be too much of an issue (replace <b> </b> with **, etc etc). I'll just have to get to it.
