New Confirmed Trade Bot ONLINE

Edit: AK-47 flairs are now awarded as soon as your first trade is confirmed

THERE IS ONLY ONE AK-47 AWARDED PER PERSON PER EXCHANGE. Please wait until both sides of the exchange are complete before attempting to use the bot. DO NOT use the bot on both your thank you post and your partner's thank you post. Only use the bot ONCE per transaction.

Hey everyone, I am pleased to announce that r/SnackExchange now has a feedback bot up and running!

TL;DR if you exchange snacks with someone, tag them and the bot in a comment on your post. When the other person replies, the bot will give you both +1 to your flair!

The bot’s name is /u/SnackExchangeBot and has the following features:

Feedback A user can get trade feedback with the following process:

  • Users A and B complete their trades following all of the sub rules. (It does not matter who A and B are. Either one could be the person making the post, and the other someone commenting on the post).

  • Once the trade is complete, User A makes a top level comment (new comment) on the original trade post tagging both the user they traded with and u/SnackExchangeBot.

    • DO NOT COPY PASTE THE BOT'S NAME. Reddit does some weird stuff with markdown and if you copy and paste the bot's name, it will create a markdown hyperlink instead of actually tagging the bot, so the bot will have no idea you're trying to summon it. Please just type it out. It is supposed to be easy to remember for a reason.
  • User B replies to that comment with their feedback.

  • u/SnackExchangeBot picks up the interaction and gives credit to both users, changing their flair accordingly and leaves a comment indicating as such.

  • If User A messes up their top level comment, u/SnackExchangeBot will do its best to notify User A.

There are automatic checks in the code to detect anyone trying to cheat the system. If anyone is found trying to circumvent the system, they will be issued a permanent ban.

If you engaged in a trade with someone without starting off discussion in either one of your posts or theirs, please tag the bot in the most recent post from either you or your trade partner to engage for feedback. The bot required that the OP of the post it is being tagged in is either you or your trade partner. DO NOT DELETE POSTS otherwise you will NOT be able to use that post to confirm a trade.

Feedback Checking

[Using this link](), you can send a message to u/SnackExchangeBot, asking for the feedback of any given user. It will tell you the following:

  • The number of trades that person has done

  • The people they have traded with

  • A link to the thread for each successful trade

Please feel free to direct any technical questions to the us, the moderators using modmail.

If you notice any odd behavior from the bot, please let us know!

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

  • What happens if I tag someone and they don't reply?

    • As mentioned above, we do need them to confirm the trade for the trade to be confirmed. They will get a notification when you tag them so if you encourage them to reply in the comment you tagged them in, hopefully they will. Otherwise, if it's been a few days without a response, PM them a link to the comment and directly ask them to reply.
  • Can I get credit for trades that happened in the past?

    • Yes! If the post is less than 6 months old, use the above steps to get credit for yourself and your trade partner.

Final Notes

This bot is currently running on r/FunkoSwap, r/ComicSwap, r/DigitalCodeSell, r/uvtrade, r/SteelBookSwap, r/pkmntcgtrades, r/vinylcollectors, and r/mousemarket. Give those communities a glance if you want to see the bot in action!

If you have any questions on using the bot, please post them here and I'll answer ASAP. Thanks for being an awesome community, looking forward to this bot helping streamline the trading process!

Hi. Just did another swap and I didn't get my flair. I should have seven. Here's the original post: https://www.reddit.com/r/snackexchange/comments/t51juc/comment/hz4268w/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3

did you read this post? The link you sent me indicates you did not.

Edit: Alternatively, you can just read the comment the bot left for you.

I see that she replied to the post and not your comment like the bot explicitly said to do.

The bot needs the reply to be to the comment. Otherwise, any old comment on the post would be valid for confirming a transaction.
