OSCR

Overview

Warning

Use of this bot has been known to cause the ToR-Stats Discord bot to freeze, should you have the bad luck to delete a comment while it is being processed. Use at your own risk.

This is an unofficial program. It is not officially endorsed by the Transcribers of Reddit or the Grafeas Group; they are in no way involved with or liable for this program or any matters relating to it. It is developed unofficially, in my capacity as a volunteer, NOT a moderator.

The Open Source Caretaker for Reddit, abbreviated OSCR and nicknamed Oscar, is a program that removes blacklisted comments from a user’s Reddit profile once the comment is older than a cutoff time. It is designed with r/TranscribersOfReddit volunteers in mind, thus the contents of the default blacklist and other certain functionalities that help limit it to this use.

If set to recur, the program will delete new blacklisted comments periodically as they move past the cutoff time.

Installation and Use

Note

OSCR was created on Linux and, given the developer has no access to other operating systems, support for Windows is limited and there is no support for MacOS.

Requirements

In order to install OSCR, you will need a version of Python installed. The original framework was written in 3.7, and current development uses 3.10, but anything 3.5 onwards should work. A minimum of 3.5 is required because that is when type-hinting, which OSCR uses extensively, was added.

OSCR also relies on several python packages; configparser, PRAW, and alive_progress. Any version of configparser will do, but for PRAW you will need at least 7.1.2, and for alive_progress you will need at least 1.6.1.

Installation

To install OSCR,

  1. Run either python -m pip install oscr or pip install oscr in your command line. It should automatically install the program as well as any dependencies.

  2. Before doing anything else, you should now create an app for your Reddit account. You can do this by going to the apps page in preferences and creating a new app:

    • Give it a name (“Oscar” or “OSCR” are easy to remember).

    • Choose “script”.

    • Give it a description (which can really be anything you want).

    • Set an about url and redirect uri. The about url doesn’t matter (I just linked the project’s repository). If you have two-factor authentication enabled, set the redirect uri to http://localhost:8080/users/auth/reddit/callback. If you do not have 2FA enabled, the redirect uri does not matter.

  3. If you are not using two-factor authentication, you can skip this step. If you are, then in your console, run the command oscr -S; you will be taken to the settings menu. Select “Edit config” and then “useRefreshTokens”. Set the value to “True”. You can then select “Continue to program” in place of running oscr in the next step.

  4. Now, in your console, run the command oscr and you will be prompted to enter information for the creation of the praw.ini file. It will ask for your client id and client secret, which you can see on the apps page.

    • Go to the page and scroll down until you find the bot you created. Underneath its name should be “personal use script”, and below that a string of random characters. This is your client id. If you can’t see a field labeled “secret” with another, longer string of random characters after it, then click the edit button and it should appear (along with other fields you filled out when you were creating the app).

    • For those using 2FA, OSCR will automatically set your redirect_uri to http://localhost:8080/users/auth/reddit/callback, which should be what you set it to for the app in step 2.

Once the ini has been created, OSCR will detect whether or not you are using 2FA. If you are, it will open a tab in your browser for you to authorise it to read your submission history and edit your submissions - the necessary scopes to delete comments. Once fully initialised, the contents of your praw.ini file should look something like this (the last one will only appear if you have 2FA enabled)::

[oscr]
client_id=lI3fAkE7x82LiE
client_secret=4lS0f4Ke1234567894NdN0tR3aL
username=testuser
password=yourpasswordhere
redirect_uri=http://localhost:8080/users/auth/reddit/callback
refresh_token=yourrefreshtokenhere

You can check if they are correct by navigating to your config folder, which should be .config on Linux and Mac, and AppData on Windows.

  1. Once you’ve rerun the program, each comment older than the cutoff should be deleted. By default, it will search every 10 minutes, and you can then either leave the program running in the background to delete posts in real time as they reach the cutoff, or you can turn recur off in your config file and manually run it whenever you want to delete comments.

Updating

To update the program to a newer version, run python -m pip install --upgrade oscr or pip install --upgrade oscr in your command line.

Using the Latest Testing Version

To use the latest testing version, download the 2.x branch files, extract the archive you have downloaded, and use pip install . after navigating into the directory the files were extracted to.

Configuration

Once properly intialised, there should be a config.json file in the following directory: [your home folder]/.oscr. Its contents will look like this:

{
    "config": [
        {
            "blacklist": [
                "claim",
                "claiming",
                "claim -- this was a automated action. please contact me with any questions.",
                "dibs",
                "done",
                "done -- this was a automated action. please contact me with any questions.",
                "unclaim",
                "unclaiming",
                "unclaim -- this was a automated action. please contact me with any questions."
            ],
            "case_sensitive": False,
            "cutoff": 1,
            "cutoff_unit": 3600,
            "debug": False,
            "limit": 100,
            "log_updates": True,
            "os": "[Your OS here]",
            "print_logs": True,
            "recur": True,
            "regex_blacklist": [
                "^(claim|done|dibs|unclaim)(?!(.|\n)*(treasure[\s-]*hunt|save))"
            ],
            "report_totals": True,
            "subreddit_list": [
                "transcribersofreddit"
            ],
            "unit": [
                "minute",
                "minutes",
                60
            ],
            "use_refresh_tokens": False,
            "use_regex": False,
            "user_list": [
                "transcribersofreddit"
            ],
            "wait": 10
        }
    ]
}

The following is an explanation of what each configuration option does:

Name

Type

Description

blacklist

Array

The list of comments OSCR will delete. It is not case sensitive, so comments of varying capitalisation will all be deleted, however they will only be deleted if the entire content of the comment matches one of the entries in the blacklist.

case_sensitive

Boolean

When using the blacklist, this value determines whether or not the program is case sensitive in its search for comments. Not applicable when using regexes.

cutoff

Integer

The number of units of time old a comment must be before it will be deleted. This is set to 1 by default. I would recommend a minimum cutoff of 15 minutes, in case the u/transcribersofreddit bot has lag and doesn’t register your comment in time.

cutoff_unit

Integer

The unit of time used for the cutoff, converted into seconds. Set to 3600 (1 hour) by default.

debug

Boolean

If set to True, OSCR will log obsolete comments, but not actually delete them. Set to False by default.

limit

Integer

The number of comments the program will check through on your profile; i.e. how far back it will go. This is set to 100 by default and can go to a maximum of 1000 (converted to None by the program), due to Reddit’s API limits.

log_updates

Boolean

Determines whether or not OSCR will write the log to a file. Set to true by default.

os

String

Your operating system. Can be left blank.

printLogs

Boolean

Determines whether or not OSCR will print log output to the console. Set to true by default.

recur

Boolean

Determines whether the program will run through only once (if False), or continue re-checking your profile in regular intervals until you exit (if True). It is set to True by default. The length of time between program iterations is determined by the wait variable.

regex_blacklist

Array

An alternative blacklist intended for use with regexes. Users not familiar with regexes are advised to ignore this list, as regexes are turned off by default and can cause harm to your profile if used without care.

report_totals

Boolean

Determines whether or not OSCR will print total statistics to the log and console output. Set to True by default.

subreddit_list

Array

The list of subreddits that OSCR cares about. Comments that are in the blacklist or match your set regexes but are not on one of these subreddits will be ignored. If the list is empty, OSCR will check comments on all subreddits.

unit

Array

A list containing all the variations on the unit of time used for the wait variable; singular word, plural word, and integer equivalent converted into seconds. The default unit is minutes.

use_refresh_tokens

Boolean

Determines whether or not OSCR should authenticate using refresh tokens; enable this if you are using two-factor authentication.

use_regex

Boolean

Determines whether OSCR should use the blacklist key, only deleting comments that exactly match it, or the regexBlacklist key, which allows for more flexible and powerful control over what the programs delete. It is set to False by default, and users not familiar with regexes should leave it this way, as getting your regex wrong can result in OSCR deleting a lot more than you intend.

user_list

Array

The list of users that OSCR cares about. Comments that are in the blacklist or match your set regexes but are not in reply to one of these users will be ignored. If the list is empty, OSCR will check comments regardless of whom they are in reply to.

wait

Integer

The number of units of time (unit being determined by the unit variable) OSCr will wait before re-checking your comments. It is set to 10 by default.

You can edit the config.json and praw.ini files from within OSCR by running oscr --settings or oscr -S.

Runtime Arguments

OSCR presents a number of runtime arguments that can be passed in order to give the user more power over the way they run the program and provide certain unique functionalities. The arguments are as follows:

Name

Description

Priority

--clean-hunt, -C

Runs an isolated instance of OSCR that only deletes comments that contain the phrase “treasure hunt” preceded by “claim” or “done”.

7

--credits, -c

Lists everyone who has helped with the creation of the program.

3

--force-regex, -f

Forces OSCR to enable regex for one instance regardless of ‘use_regex’ configuration.

7

--help, -h

Displays the list of runtime arguments in the console.

1

--no-recur, -n

Forces OSCR to run only one cycle regardless of ‘recur’ configration.

7

--print-logs, -p

Forces OSCR to print logs for one instance regardless of ‘print_logs’ configuration.

7

--reset-config, -R

Resets the config file to defaults.

5

--report-totals, -r

Forces OSCR to report total statistics for one instance regardless of ‘report_totals’ configuration.

7

--settings, -S

Runs the settings menu.

6

--show-config, -s

Displays the contents of the config file.

4

--version, -v

Displays the currently installed version.

2

The priority of each argument refers to how OSCR prioritises which ones to run, if there are any conflicting arguments passed. A lower number means higher priority. For example, if both --version and --credits are passed, --version will process first because it is higher priority. Similarly, if both --help and --print-logs are passed, --print-logs will have no effect, as --help is a “closing argument”, meaning it stops the main program from running.

The lowest priority is 7; these are all arguments that affect the main program and will not have an effect if they are accompanied by any closing arguments. They are processed in alphabetical order.

An example command to run OSCR would be as follows:

oscr --no-recur --print-logs --report-totals,
or in short form,
oscr -n -p -r.

Additional Help and FAQ

Where are the praw.ini, config file and data located?
On Linux and Mac, these are stored under /home/your_username/.oscr/, with the data (log and statistics) under the subfolder data. On Windows, they are stored under C:\Users\your_username\AppData\Roaming\oscr, with the data under a data subfolder.
What if I already have a praw.ini on my computer?
Saving in an oscr subfolder prevents OSCR from overwriting any ini you might already have, and the program is designed to only pull from that file.
If you are updating to 2.0.0 from a version of OSCR that had the praw.ini in just .config, run oscr -F and it should automatically move the oscr section from your .config praw.ini to .config/oscr, but note that this functionality was removed in version 2.1.0.
How can I contact the developer?
I’m reachable through murdomaclachlan@duck.com. You can also open an issue on GitHub if needed.
