    G’morning, Your title might not match the title of the article you linked! Could you please double check, and edit your post title if it indeed does not match? article title: “Nurse Lucy Letby guilty of murdering seven babies on neonatal unit” (Similairity: ~78%).

    ZZZzzzz… this action was performed automatically by a bot approved by the mods (:

        I’m the maker of the bot, and I’m sorry you feel that way. The reason many news communities have these kinds of rules, is because mods don’t have time to check if the title is a good representation of the article. If you disagree with the rule, you might want to contact the mods, they can alter the rules and the bot to not enforce such a rule. Let me know if you have any questions.

          If it’s a rule, what purpose is served by a bot publiclly nagging the poster instead of actually enforcing the rule?

          If it’s not a rule, it shouldn’t be trashing up the comment section with automated pedantry.

            The purpose of the bot is to make the poster aware of the rule, so they can edit the post. I don’t personally see how one comment “trashes up the comment section”. Another reason for not deleting the posts it detects, is because it’s a bot, and bots make mistakes.

            Let me know if you have any more feedback (:

              DM the poster if you want to make suggestions privately.

              Doing it the comment section is pedantic bot spam.

                The bot is also being used by mods to monitor any posts flagged by the bot. I am working on a discord version of that system, so that’s still a work in progress.

          I did edit the title a bit. But the bot itself ain’t bad since some auto generated titles from URL’s aren’t correct.

          I can understand why you made the bot text so genial, but maybe it needs to be something a bit less so, because it reads as flippant underneath a story like this.
