I don't like this bot. What can I do?
If you do not like this bot, you may ask the moderators of the specificed subreddit to put it on the blacklist. The moderators will take it upon themselves to decide whether to allow the bot to post or not. If there is one thing I may ask, it is to please do not take way from the discussion of the post's topic. This bot is supposed to be trivial and lighthearted, not a fuel source for hate.
How do I put the bot on a subreddit's blacklist?
Well, that's really simple. The moderators of said subreddit can blacklist this bot by simply banning it from said subreddit. The bot will detect the ban the next time it tries to comment on said subreddit and it will add it to the banned subreddit list.
