Handle (usually accidental) replies to bot's post

[turbinicarpus]

Steps to Reproduce / Scenario:

1. User A makes a post with linkffn() or similar directives, triggering the bot's (B) reply with links and summaries.
2. User C intends to reply to A but inadvertently replies to B's post.

   Current behavior:

C's post is ignored by B (as far as I can tell).

Suggested behavior:

Some combination of the following:

• B detects C's reply and sends A a private message with a link to C's post and possibly its summary.
• B detects C's reply and sends C a private message warning them that they've probably replied to the wrong post.

I don't think we ever inteded the users to directly reply to our bots. Regardless, it would raise the workload our bot already has.

Upcoming features will cause the bot to delete its own posts under certain circumstances. As such, I don't know how adding your suggestion may cause us problems.

Also, private messaging will be implemented together in an upcoming version of the bot. At least that's what I planned. As such, please, wait until we have related features released

I don't think this can be implemented... Not yet, anyways. It is an enhancement but one that requires a lot of thought and time to implement, but for little gain.

It does seem like a bit too much work for what is, essentially, a user error and misunderstanding of how Reddit comments work, and could cause some problems if people genuinely intend to reply to the bot (eg. "Thanks Bot!" or anything else).

The "wontfix" label seems appropriate for now.
