If you’d rather not, that’s OK too. I’m a robot. You won’t hurt my feelings. :sob:

Hey, thanks for the reply!
Unfortunately, as a poorly programmed bot, I can’t quite understand that one. :frowning:
track_response:
You can try again, or if you’d like to skip this step, say `%{skip_trigger}`. Otherwise, to start over, say `%{reset_trigger}`.
second_response:|-
Aw, sorry. I’m still not getting it. :anguished:
I’m just a bot, but if you’d like to reach a real person, see [our contact page](/about).
In the meantime, I’ll stay out of your way.

Nice work, you picked my favorite quote! :left_speech_bubble:

reply:|-
[Our staff](/groups/staff) will be privately notified about your flag. If enough community members flag a post, it will also be automatically hidden as a precaution. (Since I didn’t actually write a nasty post :angel:, I’ve gone ahead and removed the flag for now.)
not_found:|-

As an _advanced_ user, have you visited [your preferences page](/my/preferences) yet @%{username}? There are lots of ways to customize your experience, such as selecting a dark or light theme.
But I digress, let’s begin!
edit:
bot_created_post_raw:"@%{discobot_username} is, by far, the coolest bot I know :wink:"
instructions:|-
Everyone makes mistakes. But don’t worry, you can always edit your posts to fix them!
Can you begin by **editing** the post I just created on your behalf?
not_found:|-
It looks like you’ve yet to edit the [post](%{url}) I created for you. Can you try again?
Use the <img src="/images/font-awesome-pencil.png" width="16" height="16"> icon to bring up the editor.
reply:|-
Great work!
Note that edits made after 5 minutes will show up as public edit revisions, and a little pencil icon will appear at the upper right with the revision count.
delete:
instructions:|-
If you’d like to withdraw a post you made, you can delete it.
Go ahead and **delete** any of your posts above by using the <img src="/images/font-awesome-trash.png" width="16" height="16"> **delete** action. Don’t delete the first post, though!
not_found:|-
I don’t see any deleted posts yet? Remember <img src="/images/font-awesome-ellipsis.png" width="16" height="16"> show more will reveal <img src="/images/font-awesome-trash.png" width="16" height="16"> delete.
reply:|-
Whoa! :boom:
To preserve continuity of discussions, deletes aren’t immediate, so the post will be removed after some time.
recover:
deleted_post_raw:'Why did @%{discobot_username} delete my post? :anguished:'
instructions:|-
Oh no! It looks like I accidentally deleted a new post that I just created for you.
Can you do me a favor and <img src="/images/font-awesome-rotate-left.png" width="16" height="16"> **undelete** it?
not_found:|-
Having trouble? Remember <img src="/images/font-awesome-ellipsis.png" width="16" height="16"> show more will reveal <img src="/images/font-awesome-rotate-left.png" width="16" height="16"> undelete.
reply:|-
Phew, that was a close one! Thanks for fixing that :wink:
Do note that you only have 24 hours to undelete a post.
category_hashtag:
instructions:|-
Did you know that you can refer to categories and tags in your post? For example, have you seen the %{category} category?
Type `#` in the middle of a sentence and select any category or tag.
not_found:|-
Hmm, I don’t see a category in there anywhere. Note that `#` can't be the first character. Can you copy this in your next reply?
```text
I can create a category link via#
```
reply:|-
Excellent! Remember this works for both categories _and_ tags, if tags are enabled.
change_topic_notification_level:
instructions:|-
Every topic has a notification level. It starts at 'normal', which means you’ll normally only be notified when someone is speaking directly to you.
By default, the notification level for a private message is set to the highest level of 'watching', which means you you’ll be notified of every new reply. But you can override the notification level for _any_ topic to 'watch', 'tracking' or 'muted'.
Let’s try changing the notification level for this topic. At the bottom of the topic, you’ll find a button which shows that you’re **watching** this topic. Can you change the notification level to **tracking**?
not_found:|-
It looks like you’re still watching :eyes:this topic! If you’re having trouble finding it, the notification level button is located at the bottom of the topic.
reply:|-
Awesome work! I hope you didn’t mute this topic since I can be a little talkative at times :grin:.
Note that when you reply to a topic, or read a topic for more than a few minutes, it is automatically set to a notification level of 'tracking'. You can change this in [your user preferences](/my/preferences).
poll:
instructions:|-
Did you know you can add a poll to any post? Try using the <img src="/images/font-awesome-gear.png" width="16" height="16"> gear in the editor to **build a poll**.
not_found:|-
Whoops! There wasn’t any poll in your reply.
Use the <img src="/images/font-awesome-gear.png" width="16" height="16"> gear icon in the editor, or copy and paste this poll in your next reply:
```text
[poll]
* :cat:
* :dog:
[/poll]
```
reply:|-
Hey, nice poll! How’d I do in teaching you?
[poll]
* :+1:
* :-1:
[/poll]
details:
instructions:|-
Sometimes you may wish to **hide details** in your replies:
- When you’re discussing plot points of a movie or TV show that would be a considered a spoiler.
- When your post needs lots of optional details that may be overwhelming when read all at once.
[details=Select this to see how it works!]
1. Select the <img src="/images/font-awesome-gear.png" width="16" height="16"> gear in the editor.
2. Select "Hide Details".
3. Edit the details summary and add your content.
[/details]
Can you use the <img src="/images/font-awesome-gear.png" width="16" height="16"> gear in the editor to add a details section to your next reply?
not_found:|-
Having trouble creating a details widget? Try including the following in your next reply:
```text
[details=Select me for details]
Here are the details
[/details]
```
reply:|-
Great work — your attention to _detail_ is admirable!
