I tend to periodically look at recent Turkopticon reviews, see a requester I don't like the sound of, and go check my blocklist editor to see whether I already have them blocked. So I made this to save a little time/hassle on some of those repeated checks. I paste my current lists into my copy of this script about once a week (I've been using it myself for a while before releasing it). It's probably a niche use case, but maybe someone else will find it helpful too.
The part where you paste in your updates in your userscript manager's script editor is near the top:
// Paste the contents of your HIT Scraper blocklist onto the line below, between the quotes ("). You must manually re-paste it when you want to update this script's awareness of it. A script running on a different domain like this can't access where the original HIT Scraper data is saved.
var yourBlocklistHere = "";
// Likewise, paste the contents of your HIT Scraper includelist onto the line below, between the quotes (").
var yourIncludelistHere = "";
// State the date you last pasted in your updated HIT Scraper blocklist and includelist here, for reference in the indicators' text:
var lastUpdated = "";It displays a clarification note in mouseover text when you move your mouse over the indicator text it displays on TO pages:
"Be aware that in some cases depending on how a review was submitted, the earliest name used by a requester may be displayed on the review instead of their most recent name, so make sure you have the older versions on your blocklist too; and in some cases a requester name that contains ampersands (&), apostrophes ('), or accented characters will be misinterpreted by TO and thus not be able to match your blocklist unless you add the messed-up version to it too."
(and likewise for the includelist).
