Planned Features

Currently Planned Features

• Add 'only' option, like an opposite of 'exclude' - Only delete certain users from sample
• Ability to delete comments using a list of comment IDs, such as from a log file
  • For large amounts of comments that require multiple sessions (because of API quota), it could keep track of which were deleted and which still need to be deleted

Relatively Soon

• Option to search also obfuscated versions of entered strings
• An option to delete comments using just a list of comment IDs - Could be useful if too many comments are found for your quota limit, and the job needs to be continued where it left off
• Break the script up into multiple files, as it is becoming absolutely enormous

Whenever I Get Around to It

• Monitoring Mode: Program could be let to continue running and automatically mark matched comments as 'held for review', so they can be restored if incorrectly removed.
• Channel 'Mega-Scan' - Automated process to scan all comments on every single video on a channel.
  • Could theoretically pre-calculate the total number of comments needed to be scanned, and determine how many could be done in one go
  • Would need to implement a way to continue where left off, allowing user to either switch to a different google cloud project, or wait until the next day's quota reset

Maybe Some Day

• Auto Full-Scan Mode: Scans entire channel until more than ~100 comments scanned without spammer found, then stops automatically
• Self-Hosted web version, wouldn't require downloading or setting up your own Google Cloud project

Not likely

• Graphic User Interface
