How to Tip and Tracked vs Untracked/Unfriendly Subreddits
By default, the bot will only monitor subreddits that want it to.
- In a tracked subreddit you can tip any comment by replying to it with
!ban 1
where1
represents the amount of BANANO to tip (1 BANANO in this example). The tip has to either be the first or the last thing that appears in your message. - In an untracked subreddit you can tip any comment by mentioning the bot, such is
/u/banano_tipbot 1
. The same rules apply as tracked subreddits, but the bot will only send private messages to both the tipper and receiver, rather than posting publicly.
View and Update Tracked Subreddits
Anybody can message the bot the subreddit
command to view a list of tracked subreddits. These are subreddits where you can use !ban
instead of /u/banano_tipbot
in order to send tips.
You can also message the bot subreddit subreddit_name
for information about a specific subreddit.
