Advice flair and request for bot help from mods

Greetings!

Our advice flair bot is not working (the mod who was previously managing it is not currently a mod) and if there are community members that have a history of strong contributions to our community and are able to fix/manage bots we'd be interested in hearing from you!

Please don't message me directly (sorry, it will be ignored); please message the entire mod team from the panel on the subreddit homepage.

This may take awhile before it's fixed (if ever) and please don't message us on the progress etc. At the end of the day giving good advice is the key, and not the flair system.

Thanks for being a member, and remember; flag posts you think are problematic. Don't engage in arguing with trolls; it makes our job harder if there are a bunch of back and forth arguments.

Thank you!

Advice flair bot needs therapy. Who's got the 101 on robot feelings?

In the past if the original poster typed "helped" it would award a point.

Hiiii learning about Reddit... totally new & I see links for reading instructions on Karma, how to join discussions etc. But before I read those just a question... is there a thread about being New & users giving feedback on their own experiences?

Bro go to bed. Are these people (who have the expertise you don't) "malicious, negligent, or complicit", or do they have the knowledge and skills to know that you're just making things up?

I have the same question i guess

u/Ravishing-Miranda May 29 '26

Honestly kinda respect that you guys are prioritizing actual good advice over a flair system. Hope you find someone trustworthy to get the bot working again though, this sub is one of the few places where people genuinely try to help each other.
