"""
Trollcheckbot 1.1a is a reddit bot written by (utter novice) /u/tingmakpuk.
In theory, this bot will be summoned by a user responding to an exising comment using
a trigger phrase.  The bot will report on the user who posted the parent comment:

Version 1.0: Replies with target username and comment karma.
Version 1.1: Replies with target username and comment karma.  Makes a judgement.
Version 1.1a: Fixed signature and related bug
WIP -- Version 2.0 will log the work and not duplicate the effort.  
"""


#known bugs:
#If trollcheckbot checks itself, it will pick up on its own reported username as a trigger
    #on the next cycle. 
#Not currently logging work, so duplicates effort, although reddit blocks dupl comments.
#currently handles one sub at a time.


#config:

import praw
import time #need for .sleep
import datetime #to be used later to log
