Every time I send a message with ‘Thanks’, this bot likes the post. Why is this?

Because he is a very civilized and kind bot: [discourse/plugins/discourse-narrative-bot/lib/discourse\_narrative\_bot/track\_selector.rb at main · discourse/discourse · GitHub](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/master/plugins/discourse-narrative-bot/lib/discourse_narrative_bot/track_selector.rb#L241)

Maybe we could have a switch on this and also have a configurable list of `trigger` words, what do you think @tgxworld ? I could have a look at it if you are interested in this.
