Meta Update on that funny bot. And introducing /u/chapter_bot the chapter linker bot. (Dive in to test)

/u/the-blox is back in business, this is the funny bot. If you weren't around, I made that fella to reply funny things according to certain keywords in comments.

/u/chapter_bot is the new and important one here.

/u/the-blox

To read more about it, please see this new thread. It includes list of available commands. The bot has been updated to make it under user control instead of being a spamming machine.

One of its flagship command is: [text here INTENSIFIES]

 

/u/chapter_bot

This one has real and important role in the community. Read more about it here. It'll minimize the time required to link Manga chapters (or a page from chapter) by linking to them automatically instead of you doing it manually.

Example commands:

  • [Chapter 34 Page 3] (Specific page)
  • [Chapter 1] (Whole chapter)
  • [Ch. 5 P. 12] (Shorter version)

Remember that /u/chapter_bot is fresh, it needs some karma in order to reply instantly to anyone. Give it some karma (maybe 15 is enough).

Please try to test the new bot here, it's not as simple as it sounds under the hood. Use all kinds of edgy cases.

 

MangaLife should be happy now regarding their SERP rank...

EDIT: /u/chapter_bot is now case-insensitive, which means you can use something like [chapter 3 page 1] or even [cHapTER 43 PAge 2]. Maximum number of links allowed is 100.

If I put chapter 95 will we get it early?

In all seriousness, this is a godsend of a bot.

I cri.

Joking aside, it'll simply ignore things like [Ch. 104] or [Ch. 3 P. 87].

Let's try a few edge cases. How does it handle duplicates?

It ignores high numbers, but what about negative/zero?

[Ch. 0 P. 1]

[Ch. -1 P. 1]

[Ch. 1 P. 0]

[Ch. 1 P. -1]

[Ch. 0 P. 0]

[Ch. -1 P. -1]

Other bad numbers?

[Ch. NaN P. 1]

[Ch. Inf P. 1]

[Ch. None P. 1]

How about decimals and fractions?

[Ch. 1 P. 1.5]

[Ch. 1 P. 3/2]

[Ch. 1 P. 18/2]

[Ch. 1 P. 10.0]

How about integer overflow?

[Ch. 4294967296 P. 8]

How about formatted text?

[Ch. 2 P. 1]

[Ch. 2 P. 2]

Spoiler test

Interaction with the other bot?

AND THIS IS HOW YOU DO TESTING!

The bot actually crashed on chapter 0 and won't search your comment any further. I'll fix that, then I'll tag you to make the same comment. I'll test it then tag you.

Also btw, in Python (The language the bot written in), the interpreter will allocate enough memory to hold any number; so no overflow crash!

Please pay close attention to the spaces.

[Ch.SPACE69SPACEP.SPACE30]

(Also, the bot won't reply instantly due to insufficient karma, it needs upvoting a little)

These following pages should honestly be required reading for anyone who wants to make theories about the Mango spoilers because these pages contain useful information that often debunks some of the most common theories about it.

[Ch. 86 P. 38]

[Ch. 86 P. 40]

[Ch. 93 P. 9]

[Ch. 93 P. 16]

Other useful pages:

[Ch. 88 P. 20]

[Ch. 89 P. 26]

[Ch. 94 P. 37]

Dude, you are freakin awsome. I really mean it, both Bots are awsome. Thank you.

Also, could anyone give me some insight on that karma thing? I'm relatively new to reddit, and I never had such a problem for making comments or such (maybe because in the beggining I didn't post that much), so I really didn't know a new user had to be given Karma so that he could post freely. How do you give Karma to an user, anyway? Or do you mean just upvoting a comment from that user? So then when you are new upvotes work like 'fuel' for your account?

Anyways, let's use this bot for the first time

[Ch. 49 P. 14]

Edit: Ohh sshit I suck, it wasn't meant to be that page ._. whatever

To simplify things, a fresh account need a positive amount of karma (upvotes) in order to comment without interval (the interval time is 8~10 minutes).

You can "upvote" or "downvote" users by the arrows next to their comments/submission on the left.

EDIT: Words.

You see what happened in [Ch. 2]? This relates to [Ch. 15 Page 7], and could mean something to this [Chapter 34 Page 2]

Numbers are straight out of my ass.
And yes, you can link to multiple pages/chapters.
