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
