I made a userscript to calculate the Bussy Busting score for Reddit comments

I cobbled together expertly crafted a userscript that adds a button to Reddit comments which calculates the Bussy Busting score of that comment.

To install, you'll need a userscript manager (see step 1 on greasyfork.org frontpage) if you don't already have one, then you just click here and the manager should prompt you to install the script.

Some additional info:

  • calculates the score both considering text in quote blocks (labelled wq) and ignoring it (labelled nq)
  • automatically uses the most wordswordswords reply in each category
  • it doesn't use the visible replies but instead uses the API to get all replies of the target comment
  • uses the original formula of number of words (in a reply) divided by number of characters (in the comment whose score is being calculated)
  • it supports both old.reddit.com and the redesign's post pages
  • doesn't support i.reddit.com (lol)
  • for the character counting step, it counts codepoints instead of graphemes (emojicels btfo)
  • doesn't work properly on deleted comments and replies (theoretically it could be expanded to work on reveddit.com)

EDIT: The nq count chokes on nested quote blocks, that's a bug

Thank you for your wonderful contribution to our friendly internet community. πŸ€—πŸ€—πŸ€—

With that said...

This shit is not working.

No effect + I'm getting a 'no-redeclare' linting error on line 230.

EDIT: Look for the 'bussy busting score' button next to the other shit on reddit comments.

I'm assuming you're using Tampermonkey? It's the only one I've seen that complains about the redeclare thing. That lint should be harmless (at least on Tampermonkey for Chrome?) from what I've seen.

No effect

Do the buttons not show up or do they show up but not do anything?

Oh I'm probably dumb, I didn't even see the button - thought it just calculated the scores per comment automatically.

I also just switched from Tampermonkey (Vioentmonkey? I don't use any of this shit tbh).

Well, works now.

EDIT: I'll point out that I did have to copy and paste the script or import via URL - going to the raw JS doesn't prompt to install it as a user script.

Stop using Tampermonkey it's not open source no more and the devs seem right shady
