/u/dont-call-me-iggy is a Reddit bot that reminds users that Andre Iguodala doesn't like to go by "Iggy".
Built using Praw and hosted on a DigitalOcean droplet running forever.
Changelog:
6/12/18:
- Updated copy to reflect Andre winning his third championship.
5/29/18:
-
Now also ignores the Daily Discussion Thread.
-
Removed the condition for a chain of comments, since we only post once per thread anyway.
-
When the bot doesn't post a comment because it has posted too recently, add that thread_id to the list of already-posted thread_ids, so that if there's a new "Iggy" comment on that thread the bot doesn't respond to it (because it is confusing that it responded to the 'newer' "Iggy" and not the 'old' one).
5/22/18:
-
I keep track of the last 100 thread_ids posted to, and don't post to that thread again. When I hit 100 thread_ids, I remove the oldest one.
-
I only post at most once every 3 hours.
5/9/18:
- Now ignores Game Threads and Post Game Threads (more precisely, threads with "Game Thread" in their title)
5/1/18:
- Now ignores comments whose parent is /u/dont-call-me-iggy, not whose grandparent is (as was the intention)
4/30/18:
- Now ignores users who mention "bot" anywhere in the text, not just directly after "iggy"
- Ignores comments whose grandparent author is /u/dont-call-me-iggy
4/29/18:
- Fixed spelling of "Iguodala"
...
Exact date unknown, but the following improvements were added sometime after v0:
- Ignored users typing "bot"
- Ignored users typing "iggy azalea"
- Ignored users typing "iggy" in quotes
- Allowed for randomized copy via templates
