BigFriendlyRobot

BigFriendlyRobot is a reddit bot that manages user tags within subreddits. Check out /r/bigfriendlyrobot. To create a tag there, message BigFriendlyRobot with the following fields:

Subject (name of subreddit): bigfriendlyrobot
Message (in the case of this subreddit, any alphanumeric string with spaces): is your friend

The bot will append "is your friend" to your username within 10 minutes' time.

Features

  • Compresses the CSS
    • Can use the user ID instead of username (see here)
  • Adding subreddits is easy -- it takes about 7 lines of code
  • Flexible tag validation system
  • Mods can change the CSS through the bot (Wiki Page)
  • Notifies users of invalid tags
  • Can include only the most recently submitted tags for subreddits that are nearing the 100KB CSS file size limit.

I have hosting set up already and it's no effort to add more subreddits. Let me know if you want the bot to administrate the tags on your subreddit.
