redditcommentsnapshotbot

Reddit Bot that snapshot comments chain of post and uploads it to imgur.

Working logic

1. run comments
2. find mention or similar
3. get parameter which represents how many comments will be included
   3.1. if there is no parameter
   -> get that much of parent comments
   stop if on top
   3.2. if there is a parameter
   ->get only 1 comment
   ?->get all comments come before that
   ?->get all comments coming after that
   ?->get all comments flood
4. style comments (with upvotes and chain styling) - create image
5. upload image to imgur ~ for now
