Thanks rozap. This is really cool. Does it auto-update? If not, I hope you update it periodically.

And always remember: the more ignores a user has, the less influential they are in the community. I encourage people to ignore trolls liberally.

It doesn't auto update. I learned that Hubski is not at all an easy site to scrape, for multiple reasons, but mostly because of how arc creates links. Anyway, what it came down to is using selenium to emulate a real browser, so it's not something I'm running in the background.

However, I will run it periodically and update the results.

Edit: Actually I won't run it again. Looks like mk pushed an update to make it so you can't see who someone is ignoring. I guess he figures that doesn't need to be public information. I sort of agree, but it makes any sort of analysis like this impossible.

This is very cool, rozap. I did a quick change as some were using the public lists for targeting. But I'm open to making this aggregate data available. It could be useful.
