View submission: You can now summon AmputatorBot!

I think the notification to the one invoking the bot is not as important as spreading the awareness!

You think so? From a purely ideological view, I agree with you. Spreading awareness is extremely important. But from a UI/UX view, having the user perform an action and not giving any feedback is - really bad practice. How do I encourage the user to summon the bot again next time? Another important thing I should have mentioned before, is how do I make clear to the mods of the subs that the bot was summoned and by who and when? If the bot appears to work automatically in a sub, 9/10 moderators will ban the bot forever. Which sucks :/

Edit: perhaps I could built like a hall of fame or something for the most frequent invokers?
