This is not an explanation to those who provide content to subreddits why this snapshot has been taken. This is an explanation of why the mods want it.
Suggestion: Kindly explain the benefit to the content poster and the sub as a whole in better detail.
This looks just a bit "AAAH took your picture, now we got you!"

I saw this bot posting in /r/SubredditDrama (https://www.reddit.com/r/SubredditDrama/comments/71sx28/psa_to_motorists_breaks_down_into_a_slapfight/[1]) where it said, in the root of the thread (ie. in response to the title): "You're oversimplifying a complex situation to the point of adding nothing to the discussion."
Surely the point of that sub is to *simplify* a complex situation while adding nothing to the discussion.

Hi jc393
What's the story with quote folders being hosted in the wiki here?
I thought they used to be hosted in the individual subreddits where the bot was posting (i.e. /r/subredditname/wiki/tumblybot)
If I wanted to use specific quotes in SRC (for example) would I have give you the quote list or something? How does that work? Or can you create a page and give edit permissions to specfic people? Is that how you usually do it?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Also I've noticed some occasions where snaphill doesn't include snew/ceddit links when linking to other reddit pages. Is this deliberate?
P.S. Love the bots. Keep up the good work.

Why is this bot snapping anything negative or realistic about cryptocurrencies like bitcoin? Here's an example: https://www.reddit.com/r/Buttcoin/comments/79f69w/bitfinex_never_repaid_their_tokens_bitfinex/[1] Bitfinexed is starting to have compelling evidence that tether's are not backed by US dollars and anyone who trades on an exchanges dealing with USDT are in risk of loosing money. How can you support this bot downplaying such risks? And before you start calling me a shill I believe in blockchain adoption just like the guy bitfinexed does however bitfinex and tethers are a real concern for this space.
