Hope all is well.

Started a new project yesterday to make my own jtalk for discord. Little more complicated that I initially thought Twitter/Reddit were pretty straight forward minus finding all of the jmod accounts (probably still missing a bunch from reddit {14 accounts total}, some from twitter {105 accounts total}).

I am starting to find out why RSOF is a bit of a problem though :/ On all 3 services I am looking at their respective "profile" page, which isn't a problem for reddit/twitter because there is an event for every post they make and they are in chronological order. However, on the RSOF forum profiles, neither is really true. If a person replies to a thread they have already posted on, it doesn't bump it up to the top of the list, nor does it give a unique link for said post.

Admittedly before jtalk, I didn't think there were very many jmod posts on the forums, but I know better now. Unfortunately it is very hard for a user to find/know about them without stalking all of their forum profiles, and even then it seems difficult to determine what is new information.

There is the date of the last post, which may make it easier for a computer to figure out what is new/old info; but as far as a user, it is just a needle in a haystack. What user would spend any amount of time looking at every jmods profile of 100+ threads each looking for any new information based on the date/time of the most recent thread the last time they looked?

Anyway, rant over... Maybe I can do something about it.

Edit: Before you worry, I am limiting page requests. 1 request per known jmod per 5-15 minutes (depending on number of known jmod accounts) on each of the 3 services.

Hiya AoDude

Last post date in RSOF profile appears to be the only practical way to tell if new posts have been made on a thread. So I'd go with that.

The hard part is knowing every J-Mod profile, and I think maintaining it could be a bit of pain when new J-Mods come on the forum scene.

A full list of all J-Mods that's kept up to date would be so handy, however maintaining your own list... well I don't envy anyone who takes that on!

Cool project though, if any one can make a go of it, you can


Not really helpful but this something I was toying with for RS Linkify (perhaps in the future)...

By combining the power of all RS Linkify users and pooling data, it may be possible to achieve a similar result. However this is something I need to look much deeper into. But it could work for a notification system, j-mod post indicators, maybe even notify you if you've been quoted. All without being automated and just by pooling what everyone sees.
^ Not fool proof or a perfect system, but I think it has much potential. I just have too much going on atm so this is on the back burner.
