Deprecation of cookie authentication for API consumers

Use of the API when authenticated via cookies is deprecated and slated for removal. All API clients MUST convert to authenticating to the reddit API via OAuth 2 by August 3, 2015. After that date, reddit.com will begin heavily throttling and/or blocking API access that is not authenticated with an OAuth 2 access token*.

Right now I have:

• /u/IRCR_Info_Bot (the current one, and the one that would probably respond to all of them)
• /u/IRCR-Info-Bot
• /u/IRCR_Info-Bot
• /u/IRCR-Info_Bot
• /u/IRCRBot
• /u/IRCR-Bot
• /u/IRCR_Bot

(Usernames aren't case sensitive for mentions.)

Edit: Also got /u/IRCR_Info_Bot_ for testing another thing. Probably shouldn't use that for this though.

In post_comment(), and maybe CommentScanner.post_reply().

It's been getting a lot of 500, 503, and 504 errors lately. These make comment posting fail, but the finally clause in those functions updates the database anyway. Need to add checks to see if the comment actually got posted.

(Originally, it would retry until it posted without error. Sometimes it would error and still post the comment, leading to massive spam. The current overly-sensitive check fixed that. See #4 (comment))

At the moment is fails with AttributeError: '<class 'praw.objects.Redditor'>' has no attribute 'created_utc'

Fix that, and maybe add a separate remark for them.

Solution: detect when it goes over the character limit and split into multiple comments.

In make_normal_info().

Would also allow commenting in other subreddits if that's something we want to do.

Remove the config file from the code repository and move it to a subreddit wiki page, much like /u/AutoModerator. The would make it easier to change the settings, make the code a bit more generic, and make the repository ‘safe for work’. (The current config file is pretty nasty. Working on the bot in public has already caused me at least one mildly awkward situation IRL).

No timeline for when this might actually happen.

Either reload every so often automatically, or watch PMs for commands.
