Hello all!
Just a couple of updates from the bot front:
First, I finally got the game update comments working, and put in a more robust sticky post manager, so we won’t have 3 day old sticky posts. As always, let me know if you see something go wonky.
I’ve reconfigured the bot to go ahead and post the Game Thread when the Game Day Thread normally went up. It contains the same content, and we don’t have enough conversation to warrant two threads.
I’m thinking about doing something similar for the Postgame Thread - basically just keeping the Game thread and changing its title to reflect the outcome. I hesitate to do this because the Postgame thread gets the most upvotes, and if I just modify the title of the game thread, I don’t think it will pop up in your feed when the game is over. Let me know if you have any thoughts on this.
My next big project is to get the bot working for Eagles games. I’m a bit busy IRL right now, so I don’t know if I’ll get to it before preseason starts.
Go Phils!
edit: Oh, and I forgot to do this earlier - starting tomorrow, you should see the wild card standings and scoreboard in the Game Thread!
Thanks for your hard work!
