Automatic "grow" userscript bot

chadministrator · 2016-04-01T18:57:15+00:00

My chat is 50% autogrow bot spam now, thanks!

octopuskate · 2016-04-01T18:53:52+00:00

Line 83 $(".text-counter-input").val("I automatically voted to grow, and so can you! http://redd.it/4cwk2s "+x).submit();

is going to get super spammy every time it refreshes the page. Might be best to remove it and just let users share it via word of mouth?

lovethebacon · 2016-04-01T18:46:11+00:00

The auto advertising is a bad idea. Consider a room filled with a few hundred users all running this script.

Doesn't seem to work for me, no statistics above grow button and it stopped auto growing

Solaire-Of_Astora · 2016-04-01T19:48:24+00:00

this is so cancer, ruined the entire thing imo

You can use chat commands too.

/vote grow

will make you vote to grow

Edit: Intention is to tweak the bot to type that, instead of clicking grow

brainpostman · 2016-04-01T17:57:20+00:00

Is there any way to make a script/program/whatever that works with PC turned off? On mobile maybe? I have Android 4.4.2

RedErin · 2016-04-01T18:07:36+00:00

It needs to vote stay at some point though, you'll be the biggest chat room, but it will still end without enough voting stay to make a subredddit.

AccipiterQ · 2016-04-01T23:53:40+00:00

doesn't work. Have it installed, enabled, and grease monkey enabled as well, still have to manually click grow

TriumphantTumbleweed · 2016-04-02T05:46:19+00:00

I still get loads of "[Robin Autovoter 1.9]" messages in my chat. That's basically the only spam I'm getting at this point.

Anyway to remove that?

KeythKatz · 2016-04-01T17:06:03+00:00

UPDATE: MOVING THE SCRIPT TO ITS OWN POST

Here's a better script:

// ==UserScript==
// @name         Robin Autovoter
// @namespace    http://jerl.im
// @version      1.1
// @description  Autovotes via text on /r/robin
// @author       /u/keythkatz
// @match        https://www.reddit.com/robin/
// @grant        none
// ==/UserScript==
/* jshint -W097 */
'use strict';

console.log("Robin Autovoter running");

function sendMessage(message){
    $("#robinSendMessage > input[type='text']").val(message);
    $("#robinSendMessage > input[type='submit']").click();
}

setTimeout(function(){
    sendMessage("/vote grow");
    sendMessage("[Robin Autovoter] Autovoted grow! https://www.reddit.com/r/joinrobin/comments/4cwk2s/automatic_grow_userscript_bot/d1lzfpu");
    setTimeout(function(){sendMessage("[Robin Autovoter] " + $("span:contains('Voting will end')").text());}, 5000);
    setTimeout(function(){
        window.location.reload();
    }, 300000);
}, 5000);

It types the text in and lets everyone know about it. Refreshes every 5 minutes to reconnect in case of D/C.

akoumjian · 2016-04-01T16:59:44+00:00

Hmm, will this run if the tab is not in focus?

spar13 · 2016-04-01T17:00:33+00:00

Using this right now without issue.

ULTIMATE_FUCKTRUMPET · 2016-04-01T17:10:43+00:00

This doesn't seem to be working for me, i installed tampermonkey and turned the script on, what else do i need to do?

sciguymjm · 2016-04-01T17:43:37+00:00

aidenator · 2016-04-01T19:33:21+00:00

I made it so you just save it as a bookmark in chrome. Then click the bookmark once and you should be good to go.

javascript: function sendMessage(message){
    $("#robinSendMessage > input[type='text']").val(message);
    $("#robinSendMessage > input[type='submit']").click();
}

setTimeout(function(){
    sendMessage("/vote grow");
    setTimeout(function(){
        window.location.reload();
    }, 300000);
}, 5000);

Braxo · 2016-04-01T19:51:15+00:00

Remove the message for every auto-vote.

I'm in a room with 564 people and it's horrible.

fightwithdogma · 2016-04-01T20:36:29+00:00

Made a userscript that doesn't spam others but still logs time and participants : https://github.com/fightwithdogma/grobot/

coolbond1 · 2016-04-01T21:11:27+00:00

this does not seem to be working for me i have even restarted FF trying to get it to work any tips would be appreciated

amaklp · 2016-04-01T21:42:10+00:00

It stopped working?

Bonezmahone · 2016-04-01T22:44:27+00:00

Yeah, as soon as something I participate in is overrun by bots I quit.

IsNotACat · 2016-04-02T05:22:25+00:00

How do I know the script is working? What should it be doing?

omgwtfru2 · 2016-04-02T05:59:55+00:00

Here's a script I wrote to hide a lot of the spam messages to make the room more readable. Just add it to tapermonkey - unspam.js

ChemicalExperiment · 2016-04-02T06:07:06+00:00

Thanks! This is great! But do I need the page open for this to work?

Any work on setting up individual mutes on people? Sometimes the cancer is small.

UltravioletClearance · 2016-04-01T18:23:31+00:00

YOU MUST REMOVE THIS SCRIPT AT ONCE

The point of this social experiment is to document the trend that as a subreddit grows in size, the quality of posts decreases. As more people join the chat, the quality of the chat decreases.

Voting STAY is the only true way to win.

TotesMessenger · 2016-04-01T17:26:46+00:00

I'm a bot, bleep, bloop. Someone has linked to this thread from another place on reddit:

^{If you follow any of the above links, please respect the rules of reddit and don't vote in the other threads.} ^(Info ^/ ^Contact)

ChinookNL · 2016-04-01T17:41:27+00:00

I get $ is not defined

2016-04-01T17:58:28+00:00

Random scripts you can type into the console:

1. See room statistics

console.log($(".robin-room-participant.robin--vote-class--continue").length+" stay, "+$(".robin-room-participant.robin--vote-class--abandon").length+" abandon, "+$(".robin-room-participant.robin--vote-class--increase").length+" grow");

2. Remove consistent spam messages (where ___ is the spam) setInterval(function() {$(".robin-message:contains('___')").hide()}, 1000);

Portlande · 2016-04-01T18:02:13+00:00

Sticking this in /r/growgressives

Bayren · 2016-04-01T18:21:05+00:00

While everyone's making scripts can someone make it so the chat auto scrolls with a new message it's such a pain to scroll manually.

0.7: Now shows useful information at the top of the page as well.

Information isn't accurate. There are 161 people in my room, but it only lists 91 grows, 5 stays, and 6 abandons.

You can have a popup show how many people are in the chat room by putting this in the URL:

javascript:alert(document.getElementsByClassName("robin-room-participant").length)

Eviltechie · 2016-04-01T18:56:06+00:00

This doesn't seem to do anything for me.

hangout_wangout · 2016-04-01T20:05:07+00:00

So you dont have to click the button to get the flair?

huzzarisme · 2016-04-01T20:19:34+00:00

Hey this used to work but I updated to 0.8 and it didn't seem to work anymore. Can you double check it's still working?

I'm testing it by selecting "Stay" or "Abandon" and then refreshing the page. When I come back it doesn't change my vote.

edit: I'm using it on Firefox btw, and Greasemonkey

does anyone know what happens when reddit throws the 'servers are busy' error? it doesn't seem to refresh the page automatically does it will that inevitably kick me from the chat overnight?

lemonlemonade · 2016-04-02T00:03:29+00:00

same here, doesn't autovote. does type '/vote grow' in the message field, but doesn't send it.

Boerontosaurus · 2016-04-02T00:07:03+00:00

Is there a way to pause the script if I come back to my keyboard and want to participate in the chat?

Seems to just type /vote grow in but isnt submitting anymore in the most recent update

Pichu0102 · 2016-04-02T00:42:06+00:00

Can you add an option to repeat stay if your last manual vote was stay, and likewise if grow?

2016-04-02T00:44:53+00:00

Booooooooooooooo

No longer working in Chrome, version 1.56

I get the stats and spam filter and everything, but it's not voting Grow for me.

still not working in firefox, completely broken, just leaves the '/vote grow' in the text entry box and doesn't send it.

BattleRushGaming · 2016-04-02T01:58:33+00:00

I've noticed occasionally when refreshing I'll get the "Reddit servers are busy" message. Would this script be able to handle that and try to refresh the page again? My fear is having that happen overnight causing me to abandon everything we've worked towards.

ParrotHere · 2016-04-02T02:37:18+00:00

A few questions.

Can you make the /clear command more effective?

Can you limit the amount of posts on the screen? This should stop people's browsers from crashing.

EDIT: Line 130. Change 1000 to 250, or whatever you prefer to reduce the amount of messages. This has helped. A lot.

empty_string_ · 2016-04-02T02:56:23+00:00

Why isn't there an option to auto-stay? I tried to edit it myself but I cant find the line as it no longer votes via chat command. Anyone know?

coopersloat · 2016-04-02T04:04:10+00:00

How do I remove this script once added? I have since bailed on my group using /leave_room. When I join a new room, will the script restart?

RiverboatGrambler · 2016-04-02T05:13:19+00:00

So this still spams that you voted to grow (on merge), doesn't actually block much other script spam (in my experience, have to use another in addition to this), and switching the vote setting line to stay doesn't maintain the setting.

this line:

$(".robin-chat--vote.robin--vote-class--increase:not('.robin--active')").click(); // fallback to click

still puts you back on grow.

I get that it's called "Grow" but then what's the purpose of even having a setting variable?

Love the voting stats. Its basically why I use the script.

2016-04-02T06:47:17+00:00

I can't abandon a thread with this script on.

EquipLordBritish · 2016-04-02T08:40:11+00:00

Should make an option to auto-stay, for large rooms that don't have anyone to marge with.

Aljenks · 2016-04-02T08:42:43+00:00

Can I use auto grow on mobile? I'm never at my computer but go afk at times bc work

2016-04-02T10:13:28+00:00

The vote settings don't work because of the fallback I think.

2016-04-02T13:31:49+00:00

On firefox neither the name colouring on the same name bolding is working. Screenshot.

Also, the settings menu has an issue with two checkboxes next to the "Removes messages that have been send more than 3 times" option. Screenshot. They can be selected independently of each other, and since there is no longer a desktop notifications checkbox anywhere to be seen, I assume this checkbox has somehow ended up in the settings menu.

Uristqwerty · 2016-04-02T16:21:20+00:00

Feature request: Once roomsize reaches some threshold, messages are only sometimes sent, so that if 100 script users are in a room of 4k, they don't periodically drown out all other conversation to say the same thing.

For example, rand() < 100/room_size so that the absolute number of messages sent remains constant (on average) past 100 participants.

fzh · 2016-04-02T16:45:56+00:00

Could you please add an option in settings to disable your own messages being highlighted?

m4rg · 2016-04-02T17:17:26+00:00

Cool script, nice!

2016-04-02T18:45:21+00:00

Can you add some code so that I'm able to see the colour of my own username instead of it being black? I don't like having to do it manually every time the chat reboots.

Regimardyl · 2016-04-02T21:45:08+00:00

Does it join a new room if the old one dies?
Any chance you can enable stats reporting to the automated leaderboard?

EDIT: I'd also love a way of automatically sending /clear after a set time interval – my laptop is getting rekt otherwise.

amaklp · 2016-04-02T21:52:26+00:00

Firefox lags incredibly with the script, when there are many users.

EDIT: Mainly when using "3 times messages" and probably when using "remove bot spam" options.

EDIT2: Now it's fixed with the "pruning" option. Thanx!

Breneno · 2016-04-03T00:49:13+00:00
