View submission: Why did I build AmputatorBot?

Hey /u/Killed_Mufasa , i like your bot but if i can recommend anything it would be to reduce the amount of text and size of ghe default comment template. I know a lot of bots that apear in the comments with a huge chunk of text which is distracting from the substance of post and unsightly. Your bot is a minor offender of this of course but it could still stand to havebits template reduced abit

U-U-U-UPDATTE TIME!

I've implemented the changes we talked about, and the default comment is now 111 characters shorter.

Before the update, comments looked like this: https://www.reddit.com/r/europe/comments/cgucw0/opinion%5C_male%5C_circumcision%5C_needs%5C_to%5C_be%5C_seen%5C_as/eup5an6[1][2] and after the new update, comments look like this: https://www.reddit.com/r/todayilearned/comments/ch95re/til%5C_about%5C_the%5C_tempest%5C_prognosticator%5C_a%5C_19th/euqjqf0[3][4]. Please let me know if this is the kind of change you had in mind.

EDIT: And the change is live!

Original comment:

Got it. I've actually been thinking about this as well. I think I'm gonna scrap the info about how to summon the bot and make that into another link at the bottom (next to the why&about).

I will probably remove the 'feedback welcome' part as well, it works too distracting imo.

I'm not sure about what other things I should remove. Any thoughts? What would you appreciate the bot to include and what would you like to see removed?

Thx for the feedback!
