## Determining when to award points
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To ensure that points are only awarded for the first comment marked as a
|
||
|
|
solution:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* This approach could also make it simpler to check whether a solution comment
|
||
|
|
has been edited. Instead of having to do a daily search for edits, it could
|
||
|
|
just check the original solution comment to ensure that it still contains
|
||
|
|
the "!solved" string. If not, it can remove points from that author and
|
||
|
|
award points to the new author.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To ensure that a point is awarded to the correct user:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* We could expand the "!solved" bot summons to include an optional username
|
||
|
|
argument. Without the argument, the bot will award the point to either the
|
||
|
|
top-level comment or the parent comment of the "!solved" comment, whichever
|
||
|
|
is decided upon. However, if the username argument is provided, the bot
|
||
|
|
could simple check that one of the comments in the comment tree belongs to
|
||
|
|
that user, and then award them the point.
|
||
|
|
- Honestly, this is probably overcomplicated and unnecessary, though.
