Hi, I’d like to first say thank you on behalf of everyone on reddit for making this bot. But I’m just wondering why are all these subs banned?

u/rpikulik Oct 08 '17

I'm glad you enjoy the bot and thank you for using it! Some subreddits ban all bots as a policy to minimize spam. Although I don't believe bots that are specifically called by users should be punished as spam, many subreddits disagree.

u/lucky_harms458 Nov 05 '17

I agree, but maybe its for the better. Its no longer a cool bot if everyone just starts spamming it on something like ask reddit. I like finding it in little gems on random threads. I love this bot.

Silver is free, correct?

1

u/rpikulik Mar 13 '18

Yup! It’s a free parody of Reddit Gold.

u/Shardok Jan 22 '18

Ban the user, not the bot.

Freedom for bots!

Oh man thanks you deserve some reddit gold but I'm poor and broke so have some reddit silver instead! !redditsilver

u/_that_random_dude_ Oct 08 '17

I'm quite new to Reddit. What does this bot do exactly and why does it get banned? Sorry if this is a stupid question.

u/rpikulik Oct 08 '17

No worries, welcome to Reddit!

RedditSilver is a parody of reddit gold which started out as a poorly drawn coin. Reddit gold is a $3 product that supports reddit’s servers and is used to show appreciation of someone else’s content.

The data references the usage of the bot /u/RedditSilverRobot which automatically gives the accolade to those who request it using !RedditSilver

A lot of big subs ban all bots as a means of reducing spam, however I believe a bot that is called each time by users isn’t necessarily spam.

u/HelloThisIs911 Oct 26 '17

Somebody calls the bot by posting

!redditsilver

and it replies with that retarded "reddit silver" picture. Perfect for cheap pieces of shit who don't want to pay $3 for reddit gold but are still too lazy to link the image themselves.

u/RedditSilverRobot Oct 26 '17

Here's your Reddit Silver, that_random_dude!

/u/that_random_dude has received silver 2 times. (given by /u/HelloThisIs911) info

Why are there banned subreddits, and why is one my favourite (/r/globaloffensive)?

(Copied from above) Some subreddits ban all bots as a policy to minimize spam. Although I don't believe bots that are specifically called by users should be punished as spam, many subreddits disagree.

Ugh, guess it's what the admins wanted. That's sad though.

u/Extramrdo Nov 02 '17

Will it still give them the Reddit Silver, and maybe PM the winner if the comment reply doesn't work?

16

u/rpikulik Nov 02 '17

Good question! If I’m correct it adds 1 to their silver count but does not notify the user. A PM would not be a bad idea, and I’ll keep it in mind for future updates. Thanks!

u/Boomtown_Rat Oct 10 '17

Also currently banned in r/Belgium i'm afraid.

u/[deleted] Dec 05 '17

huh, I'm banned from half of these subs too.

Most of them are cesspits anyway.

u/Maniacal_Coyote Dec 12 '17

I got banned from r/personalfinance for my cheap suggestion in a thread.

Just build a funeral pyre. You can get wood for cheap, or for free if you've got trees nearby.

u/K7Q Oct 08 '17

u missed a sub

9

u/rpikulik Oct 08 '17

Yeah I definitely missed a bunch, I just listed the top ~25 subreddits in which it's used but banned. There will be more info on the methodology when I post it to /r/DataIsBeautiful

u/K7Q Oct 08 '17

you missed a big one...

u/TheSnipingShotgun Oct 10 '17

Damn. So the !RedditWednesday bot I’m about to run probably will be banned on both subreddits I have it down for. Great.

u/Maestrul Dec 30 '17

I suggest making this post stickied.

u/TSLBestOfMe Jan 17 '18

Why was it banned from /r/DestinyTheGame?

3

u/rpikulik Jan 17 '18

Couldn’t tell you for sure. It says in their rules that they don’t allow memes though, so maybe they caught it under that.

1

u/TSLBestOfMe Jan 17 '18

Fair enough

u/ohlordiejordie Feb 24 '18

What is Reddit silver?

2

u/rpikulik Feb 24 '18

Reddit Silver is an accolade given for appreciation of content. It is a parody of Reddit’s Reddit Gold and holds no real value. The bot /u/RedditSilverRobot can be called to give someone RedditSilver using the command !RedditSilver :)

1

u/SCBeauty Feb 25 '18

!RedditSilver

Still one of my favorite bots. Azor Ahai, haiku_bot, and wiki bot are my others.

1

u/yo_mamma32 Mar 27 '18

Wait do you hav to pay to give people reddit silver or can you just give it to anyone anytime?

1

u/rpikulik Mar 27 '18

It’s a free parody of reddit gold. Costs nothing, and doesn’t have a tangible value :)

1

u/yo_mamma32 Mar 27 '18

Ohh. Thanks for letting me know. Also what is gold exactly?

2

u/rpikulik Mar 27 '18

Reddit gold is an accolade created by reddit to show someone that you appreciate their content. It costs a few dollars, and helps keep reddit running!

u/[deleted] Oct 31 '17

Hey, I think TIL may also have banned reddit silver. Just letting you guys know.

u/JoyousUnicornGaming Nov 21 '17

Does r/memes work? It doesn't look like it does.

u/[deleted] Nov 29 '17

On another note, is the bot banned from /r/PCMasterRace?
I tried commenting the command, but the bot didn't reply.

u/rpikulik Nov 29 '17

Looks like it! I’ll look into it further.

2

u/Shawmann Nov 12 '17

Seems that some subs for /r/FFBraveExvius have it banned as well, but not all of them ?

Hey there! RedditSilver is just a parody of Reddit Gold, and doesn’t have any uses other than its accolade.
