This is a tool for working with subreddits you moderate on Reddit. It allows you to easily perform a variety of tasks, such as resetting your subreddit settings to defaults, copying one subreddit to another, or taking backups of your subreddits.
Subreddit Utilities is powered by RedditSharp, my .NET library for working with the Reddit API.
If you are on Linux or Mac, you will need to install Mono to use this tool. Preface all commands
with mono on these platforms. On Windows, you will need the .NET 4.0 Framework, which you may already have installed.
