Hello all! A new version of RedditSilverRobot is now live. Here's what's new:

RedditSilverRobot had been skipping over a lot of comments, it should skip over a lot less now.
It will now display how many times someone has received silver ALL TIME, not just this month.

If you find this update to instead be LESS reliable, let me know and I can always roll it back to the old version if it is much worse.

If you're a coder and want to know more about this update:

It now uses two python scripts, one to read the comments and one to reply to them. This allows for the first script to continue looking through comments even while a command is being dealt with, and also allows me to run more bots in the future off of the same comment stream.
Also, instead of replying to comments as soon as they're seen, I implemented my own queue structure (mostly for fun) so that multiple comments can be tracked at once.
I have changed the way I store comments to give me more information more quickly and also take up less storage (about 100x less!)

As always, you can view the code here.

Thank you for using /u/RedditSilverRobot!

Have you ever thought about making the bot respond to those "this deserves gold comments?

Person a days something

Person B one of those generic this deserves gold comments

Bot gives silver to person a

You might want to make it add backslashes to deal with Reddit formatting characters.
