I’ve just had this idea. Why don’t we create a bot that scans comments and replies to them with boardgamegeek links for every game found in the comment?

To simplify the implementation I would be favourable to introduce some sort of syntax to make unambiguous whether or not some words are a game name or not.

What do you think about this idea?

    I’m okay with a bot providing extra context. It’s easy to block for those who don’t want it.

    I do hope that people will get into the habit of making game titles bold. It makes it so much easier to scan a ton of comments to see if a particular game is being talked about.
