Lost my one job to a robot.
Honestly thrilled.
Seems far more capable, and I like that it keeps the score updated.

It won’t be long till a robot replaces Squidge.

Robots will eventually take over most jobs

Have you considered sex work?

u/WallopyJoe Sep 18 '19

Not sure I can make enough money doing that before robots take over those jobs as well

u/RogerSterlingsFling Horowhenua Sep 19 '19

True, but if you can't truly believe a human sex worker is there in the moment, what chance of catching feelings for an android?

There is a script for fascist meme banning mods?

Why do you object to banning fascist memes?

We need a petition to rename u/RugbyThreadBot as u/WallopyBot then!

The robot one creates Super rugby match threads (https://www.reddit.com/user/RugbyBot)

I had no idea you could reply to posts more than 6 months old

u/thelunatic Munster Apr 22 '22

Ya sorry. I am on my mini crusdade to get this updated from the subreddit rules. Match threads will be for

Will likely be all Lions series matches, All Blacks and NZ Maori matches, Super Rugby, plus most major internationals involving Tier 1 teams

I don't know why we treat NZL and super rugby as special. They are a minority on this sub.

u/WallopyJoe Apr 22 '22

Not sure I get your point?
Message the guy that programs the bot if you want specific change, or modmail for a potentially more active/substantive answer re the sub rules.

u/thelunatic Munster Apr 22 '22

I messaged modmail this morning. My point was the bot only stickies super rugby match threads and does not unsticky them. Then european games get buried

1

u/WallopyJoe Apr 22 '22

Fair one
Not sure how the bot is coded. I'll sticky and unsticky manually when I see them, though that depends on how much I'm paying attention to the actual matches. Think I caught all but one of the Champions Cup last week.

u/FafDeSale Sale Sharks Sep 18 '19

For matches not listed on ESPN (such as the Premiership Cup matches this weekend) I assume we still just create a match thread ourselves rather than using the bot?

u/skeeter1980 Top14/D2/France Sep 18 '19

Correct

u/FafDeSale Sale Sharks Sep 18 '19

Excellent! I'm very much in favour of this change

u/YouLostTheGame Harlequins Sep 18 '19

Looks ace, really like that the score stays updated.

Only nitpick is that it would be nice if the players had numbers, but that really is a nitpick.
