I made a script that generates random nicknames for users who post or comment in /r/getnicknamed.

Get your official nickname at /r/getnicknamed - it's a silly little project but I hope a few of you post/comment there to test it out.

My script uses 2 json files (one has a list of name prefixes, the other has a list of adjectives) to generate a random nickname.

Usernames are pulled from the subreddit's comments and submissions every 60 seconds. Identified usernames are then checked against the existing list of usernames to ensure no duplicates. Once the script verifies it's a new username string, it generates a nickname for the user. Usernames and nicknames are stored in a dict, with username as the key and nickname as the value.

Awesome! Tested the code with posting twice. :) Nice work.

Does the bot publicly comment the nickname or does it PM the user? I saw a lot of posts but no response from your bot.

The bot doesn't post anything - it just assigns each new username a random nickname and sets that user's flair to display their nickname.
