69 upvotes, 16 top-level comments (showing 16)

I won't reply to your comment if the subreddit you're linking is:

in the top 500 subs
used primarily as a a meme (e.g. "titlegore","thatHappend"...)
for bot development
NSFW AND the comment's subreddit has asked for no NSFW links
blacklisted
one that I've already processed in that post

Or if the:

author of the post is a bot
author of the post is a mod
comment's subreddit has banned me
comment's subreddit is blacklisted
comment is in the same chain as one that's already been replied to (one level)
comment is a top-level comment in a post
comment has 3 or more links to different subreddits (and you haven't summoned me directly)
comment includes phrases that indicate you're not interested in a sneak peek of the subreddit you're linking: e.g. "go back to /r/insertpoliticalsafespacehere" or "try posting in /r/differentsubredditforyourpost" among 27 others (if you have any suggestions for phrases to ignore, let me know)
post already has 3 bot replies from me

The top posts of all time will be used if the linked subreddit is less than 3 years old else the top posts of the year will be used

The bot automatically removes comments that are negative karma every so often and removes recent comments with a score of 0 with a higher frequency

You can summon me directly with "+/u/sneakpeekbot /r/..." (please don't spam it)

If you think of any better rules to have, let me know!

Maybe you should have the words "top posts" actually link the the top posts for the sub so people can see for themselves the rest of the list:

e.g. **Here's a sneak peek of /r/expectationvsreality using the top posts[1] of all time!**

1: /r/expectationvsreality/top/?sort=top&t=all

comment includes phrases that indicate you're not interested in a sneak peek of the subreddit you're linking: e.g. "go back to /r/insertpoliticalsafespacehere" or "try posting in /r/differentsubredditforyourpost among 25 others (if you have any suggestions for phrases to ignore, leave them in a comment below)

Can you present an updated list of these phrases, so we can add suggestions without doing doubles?

/r/beetlejuicing is a meme mention.

I wonder if there would be a way to let mods of subs select a post or two to be in the bots comments.

Maybe in a "mom's choice" section under the top posts. And only make it show up if a mod from the sub makes a request (maybe in a stickied thread in this sub)

The reason I suggest this idea is because sometimes/oftentimes the top posts are memes related to the sub's topic, but they aren't truly indicative of how the sub really is.

Though, to stop/disincentivize mods from tailoring posts to this bot they should have to choose from posts made maybe like a month prior to the request.
