Overwriting not always registering in record of deleted comments #19

After downloading my reddit data, I've notice that sometimes my data before overwriting is still cached.

I'm going out on a limb so assume that this is due to either:

  1. Reddit servers being busy and the edit not getting fully processed before the delete for some reason
  2. The edit failing, erroring, or skipping before deleting on client side

My first assumpton was that they were the posts Automod was deleting when you're trying to edit it, but I've checked all of those in my message box from automod has deleted every instance of an edit, leaving the edit intact.

I think a solution would be to build an array of every comment, then edit every comment, then check if every comment has been edited, then deleting every comment. This will make the script take significantly longer, however it will be more thorough.

What are your thoughts?
