Hello fellow Lemmings! the first version of the haiku-bot is out! anyone can add or remove it in any community by simply mentioning him and asking to subscribe:
!Haiku-bot SUBSCRIBE
when added to a community, it will read every comment (not posts currently) and if he detects the 5-7-5 syllable pattern typical of haikus will reply formatting it in a nice way! If it becomes too spammy you can remove it by just commenting:
!haiku-bot UNSUBSCRIBE
currently it can be subscribed and unsubscribed by anyone, but if this will result in a problem please let me know and I'll allow only mods to do this! any problem, bug, suggestion, insult, anything you wish is welcome!

hope you'll enjoy it!

It's fine if it's visible to the whole community; my issue is when bots come uninvited by anyone, or interact with content of someone who didn't invite it, as in Reddit. I feel like yours is already leagues better than Reddit ones in this regard.

Plus if someone subscribe to a really annoying bot, to the point that annoys other users, other users will eventually ask to the first one "dude, please unsubscribe to this bot, you're adding noise".

My fear is that some users want this bot, other does not, and so it will be added and removed 16 times/day by different users... if this happens I'll reserve the mods the ability to add and remove it to their communities, but I hope that this won't be necessary
