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?

Looking alright for an MVP. Now just need to prevent duplicate comments, add a bot disclaimer, do a little code cleanup, and remember the password to my server.

Honestly, I'm most concerned about that last item...

Edit: one more test [[Robo Rally]] [[Arkham Horror]]
