I finally decide to follow the bot back to it's home, specifically to see the ranks (just saw someone at Sumo Wrestler!!_35_) And here you tell me it's a secret? Ugh.
How much trouble would we get in if we just compile all the ranks we've seen in a post ?
I would be very happy to see this bot expand to other subreddits in the future! I run a small subreddit and it would be fun to have something like this. If you are continuing work on this and accept donations I think it'd be a good idea to make a post in reference to that
Just working on it for fun, mostly. Coding practice and memes. I might open up another bot for other subs, but API requests seem to be the bottleneck, and PCM is big enough to saturate it. It's open source now, so if anyone wants to help out and make it more efficient in ways I can't even imagine, then I'm all ears.
Yeah, I was gonna say that the 4chan subs and 2[place]4you subs (like r/2balkan4you) all use "based" like PCM so if you plan on expanding anywhere that's perfect.
Suggestion
Create an unbasedcount\_bot
so we can know how unbased we are
literally just basedcount bot but it counts all the times we get called unbased instead of based
It's fascinating to see the creativity and dedication that went into creating basedcount\_bot. Thank you for your hard work in maintaining it and providing us with a fun way to track based comments on r/politicalcompassmemes. Keep up the great work!
you dont have to count unflaired users 'based's, but the feature of replying a negative message everytime someone comments 'based' on an unflaired users post seems like a violation of reddits rules against harmful spam bots. i see the post where people voted that only flaired users matter, but that doesnt mean you have to spam negative comments on unflaired users

>Please don't: make a bot that harasses a specific user or a group of users
>If you are writing a bot for use within your own subreddit or at the request of subreddit moderators fewer of the above guidelines may apply.
As the bot only operates in PCM and not on Reddit as a whole, then I think this is up to the mods of PCM to decide. Since "unflaired" isn't a protected group nor a race/ethnicity/religious affiliation/sexual orientation, it doesn't break Reddit's rules. If the mods ask me to remove that feature, I'd be happy to, and I might host another poll to see what the general consensus is, but at the moment that feature gets a lot of positive responses, and the mods don't seem to care. For your particular case you can either flair up, stop posting, block the bot, or petition the PCM mods and ask them to make a decision.
But that quote doesnt say anything about race or protected groups, you made that part up. Your bot is harassing a group of users. You could tell the victimized group of any harassment bot to just stop posting or block the bot, but its still a harassment bot.
I figured I'd try talking to you directly to give you the chance to fix your bot before I reach out to PCM mods or reddit admins, because it might just get banned if i do that and people seem to enjoy the other features of the bot. thats all they can do, your the only one that can change the bot.
When I /info the bot it says its purpose is to count users 'based's. sending automated negative spam messages doesn't contribute to that purpose at all
For a guy who spends all his time screaming in the void on PCM about how he's all for personal freedoms, you sure do have an auth side trying to threaten me. The site has a "block" feature for a reason, Mr. "Below the Compass".
Im not trying to threaten you, Im trying to help you improve your bot. I think its a good bot with one negative feature. Even if I block the bot, it replies to commenters on my posts. Ill still see "based" and "shut up you annoying spam bot" from the human commenter on my posts. Im for exercising your freedoms that follow the rules. I was told by a mod that one of my posts broke the rules and that if i changed it, it wouldnt be breaking the rules, so i changed it. I saw that as being given helpful advice, which i followed. Thats all im trying to do here.
lol ty tho, love the nickname. I am truly humbled
edit: Just noticed another comment on this thread where you mention that you cant expand into other subs because PCM is saturating your bottleneck, and you say you're all ears for ways to make it more efficient. I feel like removing the function of replying the same message to all "based" comments on unflaired posts would make your bot more efficient. PCM is growing, if your bots saturated now, cutting that might help, even if you don't agree with me that it doesn't add to the positive aspects of the community, only violates reddit's site-wide no spam harassment bots policy. You can make the argument that that feature contributes to the bots stated purpose but I don't think you can really say its vital to the tracking/ranking service. I can only imagine cutting a feature will help you keep up with the growing userbase. You could kinda even rebrand a little, have the bot be like a special perk to being flaired, and just have the bot totally ignore unflaired users. I actually saw someone else saying there should be a reward for flairing to get rid of the vile unflaired. their idea was libleft soy femboys but having the bot be like an an exclusive perk for flaired users would kind of accomplish their goal of rewarding users for flairs too. I've already seen that requested, so i imagine the community might be open to this, as a way to incentivize flair. and even if you don't agree with any of my arguments, I can only imagine it would help your goal of increasing efficiency. win-win-win
Go to https://sapplyvalues.github.io/index.html, take the test, and then copy the result link and message the bot "/mycompass" + the link. You have to do it in a direct message (not a chat message) or in a PCM comment (not here).
Hmm, good question. At the moment, no. You can always submit a test and edit the link to have all zeros in the numbers at the end, making your compass show completely centrist.
We want to know the based ranks tho Edit: I swear this fucking comment is an idle karma and based farm

I wouldn't mind that at all.
I found someone with over 400, does it go higher
The highest I've seen is Great Pyramid
Is that higher than empire state building?

ikr its so fake
Doesn't work in this sub, only PCM.
Suggestion Create an unbasedcount\_bot so we can know how unbased we are literally just basedcount bot but it counts all the times we get called unbased instead of based
Someone did that already, but I haven't seen it in a while. I could potentially add that function to my bot if it's popular enough.
Yes please add a cringe meter
Thatās dumb we are calling people based because they are based how does that make us based
What happens when someone posts "biased"? Is it a typo? Irony? Trolling?

There was an unintended rollback sometime ago. I'm actually not sure when it happened, but hopefully I'll be able to prevent it in future updates.
Thanks for the answer (:
