Is their any way to see which post **discobot** is replying to? ---

I think it replies publicly but I guess because it’s already done the ‘here’s what I can do reply’ it won’t repeat itself or show up until it gets a proper instruction. ---

Damn I saw that on another board and thought maybe that would work here. It is possible to do some limited customisation of discobot: [Customize Discobot - #10 by HAWK - admins - Discourse Meta](https://meta.discourse.org/t/how-to-customize-discobot/103633/10) ---

Maybe dicobot can see the tread is about something else. ---

What I’m concerned about is, let’s say three posters all do **discobot** die roll requests within a short time span. Can we be guaranteed that **discobot** replies in the same order as the roll requests appear? Or, is **discobot** running in its own process so that strict ordering might not be certain? It’d be nice if **discobot** would quote the poster and roll request. Or least let us know which post it was replying to. ---

Yeah, I think its reaction is so fast that confusions never happen. ---
