I’m the maker of the bot, and I’m sorry you feel that way. The reason many news communities have these kinds of rules, is because mods don’t have time to check if the title is a good representation of the article. If you disagree with the rule, you might want to contact the mods, they can alter the rules and the bot to not enforce such a rule. Let me know if you have any questions.
I can understand why you made the bot text so genial, but maybe it needs to be something a bit less so, because it reads as flippant underneath a story like this.
What an annoying bot. Titles often need to be reworded.

I did edit the title a bit. But the bot itself ain’t bad since some auto generated titles from URL’s aren’t correct.
If it’s a rule, what purpose is served by a bot publiclly nagging the poster instead of actually enforcing the rule?
If it’s not a rule, it shouldn’t be trashing up the comment section with automated pedantry.
