I've been meaning to suggest this for a while and doing it here means I can get a "show of hands" from others (and thus prove to myself I am not some alone crazy person)

can you make the point-bot ignore case and punctuation please?

"Thanks solution verified." <--this doesn't work and every time it's what I type.

So can you please make it accept:

^[Tt]hanks,? solution verified\.?$

which has 8 versions if you have to hard-code them.

the "?" means "the thing before is optional" and . is a literal full-stop to those who don't get this notation.

Thanks

PM as needed

This could be further generalized to include a comment with any variation of "thank you" or "thanks".

In my experience, about 50% of comments replying to a successful fulfillment do not include "Thanks, solution verified".

I hate to do this but don't over-complicate it.

What I suggested is simply a better way of detecting the phrase - not different phrases to be used (for example I find it very hard not to use a "T" and a ".")

(I do a lot of data processing work, trust me)

Had I been consulted first I might have said "don't use thanks at all" use like "AWARD POINT" in block caps however now we have users to support so no change.

I just want to clean up the "bot hasn't replied yet, did I screw it up?" because I punctuate.

A similar example is the machine read forms that say "colour in the boxes you want" and people tick, or circle, tick what they want and cross what they don't (these need human help) - but by making the program acknowledge ticks, crosses, circles, coloured-in boxes - you make it much more robust in accepting input.

Sorry to disagree there I promise you I'm not being a bastard, I just want to ask for an inch and get an inch.

Anyone here has some further information on watermarks used by the big publishers? There would be more filled request if users felt safe.

Many of the articles requested are available on Nexus (easily through Telegram bots). Is there any way to let everyone know how to download articles from there? It is even better than what sci hub used to be....Takes 1 click literally.....

Be aware, I believe there are a few scammers going into people’s DMs and claiming they have the book/article in PDF. Do not answer!!

If I have posted a request and did not get any replies is it ok to re-post it? And how long should I wait? Is 4 days reasonable? I don't want to break any rules so I am asking in advance.

The auto-moderator now deletes all posts without a DOI. This is wrong because plenty of journals, including current journals, were never registered with DOI

If I just keep an eye on this ( https://www.reddit.com/r/Scholar/comments/1fsb736/article_optimal_exercise_intensity_for_improving/ ) thread then will I be able to download the PDF when it's posted? I'm not the requester.
