Just fyi on a major issue here, the bot is being heavily abused (intentionally or not) to circumvent spam removals. Nearly all of the bot's recent comments are reposting spam, and the bot's comment persists even when the original spam comment is removed. It got bad enough that I've had to ban it from all of my communities, even tho it has occasionally been useful.

Might want to look into blacklisting the spam subs as an interim solution, as Reddit is slow enough to ban them that the spammers don't change the name very often, at least not currently.

Thank you for bringing this to my attention. I have recently added a counter-measure for this spambot problem. I agree reddit should do more.
