So the mod Barns made/ported the other NBA bot, the bot I was talking with someone about in my DMs was a different bot, but I believe it's one that gets used on Reddit a lot that was ported here and stopped working. The user had it working on my Phillies sub for ~half the summer until it stopped.
The bot is called "redball" and it's on github, I believe this is the link https://github.com/toddrob99/redball
Again, not the same exact bot as far as I'm aware, but it did work well when it was up, I think it was actually quite simply banned for spam posting & possibly not flagging itself as a bot and the owner of the account just got pissed off and didn't want to work on it anymore at least on LW.
He's been banned and (most) of the comments removed.
