A Rep-Identifying Bookmarklet

Readable version

Old version is further below; this new version at the top ensures that only one HTTP request is made per userId, but all reps made by that user get updated together when the data flows back; the old version would make a new HTTP request for each line of rep.

Code:

var memberURL, i, limit, reputationItem, userId,
    reputationList = document.getElementById("latest_reputation"),
    reputationItems = reputationList.getElementsByTagName("li"),
    connections = [],
    insertUsernameForId = function(element, id) {
        var connection;
        if (id in connections) {
            connection = connections[id];
            connection.elements[connection.elements.length] = element;
        } else {
            connection = connections[id] = {
                "http": new XMLHttpRequest(),
                "elements": [element]
            };
            memberURL = self.location.protocol + "//" + self.location.host + "/member.php/" + id;
            connection.http.open("GET", memberURL, true);
            connection.http.onreadystatechange = function(connection) {
                return function() {
                    if (connection.http.readyState == 4) {
                        var i, limit, elements, text = connection.http.responseText,
                        username = /<title>View Profile: (.*) - Contractor UK Bulletin Board<\/title>/.exec(text)[1];
                        for (i = 0, elements = connection.elements, limit = elements.length; i < limit; i++) {
                            elements[i].appendChild(document.createElement("p"))
                                .appendChild(document.createElement("b"))
                                .appendChild(document.createTextNode("Repped by: " + username));
                        }
                    }
                };
            }(connection);
            connection.http.send("");
        }
    };
for (i = 0; reputationItem = reputationItems[i]; i++) {
    userId = /[^_]\d*$/.exec(reputationItem.id)[0];
    insertUsernameForId(reputationItem, userId);
}

Older version, wears the server out:

Code:

var http, memberURL, i, limit,
    reputationList = document.getElementById("latest_reputation"),
    reputationItems = reputationList.getElementsByTagName("li"),
    readystatechangeFactory = function(http, element, id) {
        return function() {
            if (http.readyState == 4) {
                var text = http.responseText;
                var userId = /<title>View Profile: (.*) - Contractor UK Bulletin Board<\/title>/.exec(text)[1];
                element.appendChild(document.createElement("p"))
                    .appendChild(document.createElement("b"))
                    .appendChild(document.createTextNode("Repped by: " + userId));
               }
        }
    };
for (i = 0, limit = reputationItems.length, userId; i < limit; i++) {
    http = new XMLHttpRequest();
    userId = /[^_]\d*$/.exec(reputationItems[i].id)[0];
    memberURL = self.location.protocol + "//" + self.location.host + "/member.php/" + userId;
    http.open("GET", memberURL, true);
    http.onreadystatechange = readystatechangeFactory(http, reputationItems[i], userId);
    http.send("");
}

Very good, but what happens if a post has been repped by multiple people?

**Zippy** · 18 June 2011, 22:04

Repping was supposed to be bit of fun but, sadly, a few insecure personae didn't get it.
The shine has rather gone off the game.

(The above comments are not meant as a criticism of you NF)

Another piece of harmless CUK fun ruined by the boards equivalent of Domestos.

Each award is shown separately; the same thread or post will appear multiple times if repped multiple times.

OK, if that ever happens to me I'll be able to check.

I agree that you and a few other rep-whores ruined whatever trivial amount of fun the rep system might have offered by obsessing about it to the exclusion of anything else, but I'm not sure why this mea culpa necessitates comparing yourself to a cleaning product

Not been able to keep up with the rep thing as the story unfolded but have managed to catch up. The names that have cropped up for being serial sneaky neg reppers are showing up for me. Churchill, EO, CM etc

I have been pretty honest about not using the neg rep and I cannot see anyone pulling me up for this but rather it is the pissy pants types like Churchill and EO who deny using the system for personal abuse that seem to be the serial abusers of the system and have been caught out.
