Deckbot

Please use Reddit bots responsibly.

Setup instructions

1. Create a Reddit application on your Apps page. Consider using a new reddit account for the bot otherwise things will post as you.
2. Pick "script"
3. In redirect URI, you can put your OAuth server here or use this service to get your refresh and access token
4. Note the App ID. It's under the text "personal user script"
5. Note the secret
6. Create two config files. They need to be in a folder called config the execution root (.\bin\Debug\net6.0\config if running in Visual Studio)

config\config.json

Bot reads this at startup to get config values.

{
	"AppId": "", // Your AppId from your Reddit app
	"AppSecret": "", // Your secret from your Reddit app
	"RefreshToken": "", // Use your OAuth own server or https://not-an-aardvark.github.io/
	"AccessToken": "",// Use your OAuth own server or https://not-an-aardvark.github.io/

	"MessageRateLimitCooldown": 600, // If the bot is rate limited, wait this may seconds before trying to send a PM
	"MessageReplyCooldownMs": 10000, // Number of milliseconds (1000 = 1 second) to wait between posting replies to PMs

	"CommentRateLimitCooldown": 120, // If the bot is rate limited, wait this may seconds before trying to reply to a post comment
	"CommentReplyCooldownMs": 2000, // Number of milliseconds (1000 = 1 second) to wait between posting replies to comments

	"DownloadReservationDataFrequency": 15, // Number of seconds to download new reservation data from Google Sheet

	"BotStatusMessage": "", // Optional message to display at the beginning of messages. Limited to successful requests.

	"MonitorSubreddit": false, // If true, monitors all subreddits the user/bot is subscribed to for authorized posts in `PostsToMonitor` below. More work, but will find all comments and not top-level comments.
	"MonitorBotUserPosts": false, // Monitor all user/self posts by the bot
	"MonitorBotPrivateMessages": false, // Monitor bot's Private Messages
	"PostsToMonitor": [
		"ui642q" // Specific posts to monitor. Get from the post URL. Must have at least one or set `MonitorBotUserPosts` to true and have the bot make a self-post.

Bot will read this periodically, so it can be updated while running.

Should look like this and should have tabs between values

Notes

• When running in debug, the bot will respond to !debugdeckbot instead of !deckbot
• When the bot starts, it "flushes" all comments in the post so it won't respond to the same things twice. It still replies twice occasionally. It can miss new comments this way.
• Two folders are created at runtime: logs and data. Logs contains logs (duh) and data contains a cache of replies to send if the bot is rate limited.
• I threw this together quickly and was using it as a playground for some of the newer C# features. It's a little messier than I'd like, but that's how code goes.
