View submission: Why did I build AmputatorBot?

Is there any way to clear the AmputatorBot from a post that I made? Some bots let you comment something at them and they’ll delete their post. No offense against you since I’m sure you worked hard on it and are passionate about this issue but I find bots really annoying.

Hi again, I'm sorry it took me a while, but the opt-out feature is live!

**Opt out:** If you want to prevent the bot from replying to your comments and submissions, click here to opt out[1].

**Opt back** **in:** Did you opt-out and regret it? Click here to opt back in.[2]

It was really difficult to implement and test, so please bare with me here, but I think it's bug-free. Feel free to give it a try. Here's an ugly AMP link to fool around with[3]. You should receive a confirmation through DM.

I want to thank you for your feedback and please let me know if I messed something up!

EDIT: it's done!

I totally understand where you're coming from, so I've put it on the TO-DO list and I will start working on an opt-out feature soon. Thx for you suggestion!
