New Bot in the Community

[u/jared_dembrun]

With permission from the mods, we have a new addition to the bot family. See the sidebar of /r/Catholicism for a link to usage information about /u/stthomasbot, who quotes the Summa for you. I will be making a wiki soon, but for now, the bot's official information is on my own sub's sidebar, /r/redditphilosophybots.

I will demonstrate usage in the comments below.

Can you make the bot so if you have given up on arguing something, you can type "straw" and have the following quote appear:

• "The end of my labors has come. All that I have written appears to be as so much straw after the things that have been revealed to me."

[u/jared_dembrun → u/phantom-scribbler]

If I did that, he'd respond to every instance of someone typing the word "straw" with that quote.

Although something like [ST, straw] might work.

[u/jared_dembrun]

Quote a reply to an objection.

[ST I, Q2, A3, ad.1]

[u/jared_dembrun]

You can also quote full articles.

[ST I, Q2, A3]

[u/PhoenixRite]

Summary on formatting:

[ST (I/II-I/II-II/III/Suppl.), Q#, A#] for a full article, or

[ST (I/II-I/II-II/III/Suppl.), Q#, A#, (arg.#/s.c./co./ad.#)] for a part of an article.

Note the commas, spaces, or lack of spaces between elements; case sensitivity of every part; and the possible restriction that an article longer than is permitted for a Reddit comment will not post.

Do I have that right, u/jared_dembrun ?

[u/jared_dembrun]

Quote an objection.

[ST I, Q2, A3, arg.1]

[u/kjdtkd]

Where does the bot pull from? This is going to help me tremendously, as I've been meaning to learn how to site the Summa.

[u/jared_dembrun]

Quote the "On the contrary"

[ST I, Q2, A3, s.c.]

[u/jared_dembrun]

Quote St. Thomas' response.

[ST I, Q2, A3, co.]

[u/jared_dembrun]

If you want to pull from the Supplement (The "fifth" part), use "Suppl."

[ST Suppl., Q73, A1]
