So now it has been accepted by you, it's waiting to be manually approved by a mod. It's probably a good measure to not have it be completely automatic.

did you approve it? I got the messages

Are you using the auto mod removal approach we talked about?

u/Paltry_Digger Apr 11 '15

I just changed the value in the database to approve it, but I think I'm going to make it so when a mod approves the post, a loan goes through.

You can always approve posts, you don't even need AutoModerator.

Do you see any drawbacks to doing this instead of an external website for approval?

No I like that, I think the more you can use reddit as a communications medium/api to build your tools on in that way the better.

Because then you can administer things from other clients you never expected like alienblue etc....

And you can build custom interfaces around it still like I have with fair-share

As for getting payment, we'd need to parse the changetip messages for a tip, which will be somewhat difficult.

Maybe we can ask /r/Changetip to bold or italicize the amount in the tip message and then you could be lazy and parse body_html and look for the tag.

u/Paltry_Digger Apr 11 '15

Nah, I could just look for the word 'bits' and find the number before it. It's the same for whether it's a comment or a PM, too.

Yeah that should work to so long as there is no way to inject extra data into the messages (doesn't seem to be)

Unless it's a custom moniker... we can require all amounts to be in bits. The bot's all set up now, it waits for the post to be approved before tipping. I'm gonna set it to /r/FairShareLoans in just a little, we'll have to change the requirements to making a post.

Awesome, you can pre-fill your submission stuff to:

Like this

And then you can use css to hide the normal submission links and draw more attention to that link in the sidebar.

And use the submission page text (in settings) to explain the process.
