Proposal for a community bot (lemm.ee)

I've just had this idea. Why don't we create a bot that scans comments and replies to them with boardgamegeek links for every game found in the comment?

To simplify the implementation I would be favourable to introduce some sort of syntax to make unambiguous whether or not some words are a game name or not.

What do you think about this idea?

I'm probably in the minority but I am not a fan of bot posts sprinkled into the thread. I am happy with just having the game names Clearly Marked or Manually Linked.

It's easy enough to block a bot though.

I agree with you, but a lot of traffic comes in from mobile and its bit more cumbersome to add the links properly
