View submission: Why did I build AmputatorBot?

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!

Why does the opt-out option ask me to enter my credentials? Surely that's a bad idea from a security standpoint?
