What options does it have?

This topic will make it clear the amount of options that are possible.

The wait is limited to year 9999 so sorry immortals. Requested comments can't be longer than 10000 characters (Max is 15000 for a comment on reddit). I do suggest though that best case scenario is to use the bot with a 7 days a week value. Long enough to not be annoying but not long enough that if it's important, you don't really truly forget about it if something were to happen to the bot.

What is the point of RemindMeBot?

RemindMeBot was made as a way to remind the user about a comment or thread for later use.

For example, someone on AskReddit posts a list of cool movies to watch. Although you don't have time to watch it now, you make a comment to remember to view a movie from the list later.

However, you forget about the comment you made because you always find the cool things before sleeping and you have a short attention span to view your previously made comments.

Another is that user X predicates Y will happen or will deliver content Z in 3 days. Use RemindMeBot to see if he was right or if OP delivered!

Think of RemindMe! as an improved and automatic "saved" for later

How do you call RemindMeBot

RemindMe! TIME OPTION "MESSAGE" (with quotes)

Time option[9] and message order don't matter. They are also optional. Meaning if you can do a simple RemindMe! it will default to 1 day and a standard message. Everything before RemindMe! is not caught and everything after is. So feel free to use it in long winded posts but make sure it's *after* to avoid problems.

Note that the message is for your benefit for when you initially get the reminder. The PM will give you the permalink to your original comment.

Do PMs work?

Yes they do! Just try it out **here.**

It has all the same functionality exists within the PMs. So use it for private reminders with any link you want within the `[ and ]`. If no link is provided it will default to this page. Note that Subject title does not matter and that you don't need to use the above link. Any PM sent with the message RemindMe! will work.

Hey why didn't it notice me?

Sorry about that. I'd suggest deleting your comment(no one likes spam) and trying again. Sometimes the bot misses a comment because there are too many comments happening at once on Reddit or connection issues. Do not worry about the reminder though, as long as the confirm happened, the PM will come. Worst case scenario is that it will come late if there are connection issues.

Also, make sure you are doing the correct way to call upon the bot. It is:

RemindMe! OPTIONAL TIME OPTIONAL(default is a day without it) "OPTIONAL MESSAGE"*.

You must do it as *RemindMe!* as is since it is case sensitive.

Why was the message off by a few minutes?

The bot currently goes to sleep every 2 minutes to save on resources. Meaning your message can be as late as 2 minutes + any connection issues it is having with reddit.

What happens if it gets banned?

As long as it doesn't receive a global ban on reddit it will get your message. For example, the bot is currently banned on /r/AskReddit (all bots are). Although it won't send the message to your comment, it will PM you to confirm.

If you see others doing RemindMe! and no response from the bot, have no worry! It is always vigilante.

Can I delete my comment?

Yes. The bot takes in your reddit username and then will send the PM to that name. As long as you don't delete your account you'll get your message. Do note that if you delete your message, unless it's a top level comment it won't be able to return the original parent comment.

For any bugs please either PM or post them here. I'll try to fix them as fast as possible.
