• user_agent
  • What Google and Reddit sees the bot as, the more unique this is the better.
• username
  • Username of the reddit account making the posts.
• password
  • Password of the Reddit account making the posts.
• check_rate
  • How often - in seconds - to check for new messages and update flairs.
• subreddit
  • Subreddit to run in.
• default_flair_css_class
  • Default flair CSS class if none is provided.
• commands
  • List of commands and their triggers.

A command consists of two properties:

The key of the command, which is the internal immutable name of the command, and the list of strings within the key, which is what triggers the command.

Note these must be lowercase, but will match any case from the users perspective.

An example message would look like such:

Pokemon: Pikachu
Message: <3 Pikachu
FC: 1234-5678-9012
IGN: PokemonMaster123

These options can be in any order, and you can have as few or as many of them as you want. You can only change the flair, a certain part of your flair text, or - as shown above - every part of your flair.

Case does not matter for both the attribute to be set - left of the colen - and for the css class.

The bot has three databases, processed, flairs, and history.

Contains all processed messages.

Only 100,000 entries are kept in the table.

Contains the current flairs for all users.

Only 100,000 entries are kept in the table.

This is an log of flairs the bot has set.

Only 100,000 entries are kept in the table.

• Tables and triggers are created if they're don't already exist.
• Reddit is logged into.
• While the bot is running:
  • List of un-read messages are fetched.
  • For every message in the list of un-read messages:
    • If the message has already been processed, it's skipped.
    • The requested options are parsed from the message.
    • These options used in combination with the current flair to set the new flair.
  • The bot waits check_rate seconds, and does the above items again.
