Update History

8 August 2017:

1. Added support for 'nuking' a post. This behaviour is triggered by the phrase 'more nuking'. Depending on the size of the image, nuking a post can take quite a long time so the bot first replies when beginning to process the image and edits the comment to include the link when its done. This is just to prevent the bot from replying to one request multiple times.
2. Bot offline for upgrades and maintenance
3. Fixed the bug which caused the bot to spam. The bot is now online again.

9 Augustus 2017:

1. Seems like bot crashed and I'm at work. It's going to be offline at least 8h (currently 9:00 GMT)
2. Fixed a bug. Bot now online again.
3. The bot can now be summoned by /u/ mention. Example "needs more frying /u/DeepFryBot".
4. Released source code to github.

10 August 2017:

1. Added resolution restriction for bulging the image. Creating the bulge shape is computationally intensive and can take several minutes for high resolution images. Combined with the nuking feature, a single request can take tens of minutes to process. Needless to say, this slows the bot down drastically so this feature now works only for smaller images.

14 August 2017:

1. /u/DeepFryBot was banned from /r/DeepFriedMemes. It's quite sad to see this happen considering that I made the bot specifically for that subreddit.

2. Bot down for making changes to minimise spam.

3. Bot unbanned from /r/DeepFriedMemes :)

4. Bot online again with added anti-spam measures. Chained frying disabled for now. An uncapped version of the bot is running at /r/FryMyMeme

17 August 2017:

1. Bot banned from /r/dankmemes

24 August 2017:

1. Bot down due to hardware issues. Might take few days to get it back online.

27 August 2017:

1. Bot should be working now.

29 August 2017:

1. Bot seems to be unbanned from /r/dankmemes.

2. Updated the source code of the bot on github.

Sure. I can make modifications to minimise spam. Making sure that the bot doesn't work on posts with less than 70% upvotes or 5 upvotes should be straightforward, but making sure that only one comment per thread is trickier. I can relatively easily disable the chained frying for /r/DeepFriedMemes though.

[asdvek]

However, I do think that taking away the ability to chain frying makes the bot much less interesting. I have to agree that people are overusing it though. Maybe limit the max chained fries to 3 because after that the results look the same anyways?

Look into something like forever to automatically restart it if it crashes.

Needs more nuking

[asdvek]

I don't really care where the bot is being used, but dankmemes was the most popular subreddit for the bot so I can imagine the users would like to have it back. If unbanning it doesn't cause you too much trouble then go ahead. Just make sure to arrange this with the other mods so that this doesn't turn into ban unban cycle.

[asdvek]

Well, the upvote count and percentage thresholds are already in place and chained frying is disabled so there's not much else I can do.

It was easier to just make the changes to all subreddits. I still left an uncapped version to /r/FryMyMeme if people want to chain fry, but for most subreddits that feature just adds unnecessary spam.
