[Userscriрt] Small Dispatches

Three little scriрts that should all work for Firefox, Chrome, and Opera.

Congress Donation Validator
In the past money has been stolen from the eCountry Treasury through malicious donation proposals because of the way eRep handles whitespace in organization names. I wrote this small scriрt to help congressman distinguish between trusted and untrusted orgs. It also adds a link to search for the org receiving the cash. This could easily be adapted for other countries.

Examples:
Proposal with fake org:

Proposal with real org:

Clicky for Congress Scriрt

Menu Fix
It takes too many clicks to get to things in V2 because the developers wanted to show off their new graphics. This adds some shortcuts to the drop-down menus.

Examples:

Clicky for Menu Scriрt

Cruft Remover
Still very much a work in progress, and I’m not sure exactly where I want to take this one yet. It may be that I:
* Dramatically remake pages on eRep so that they are intuitive
* Make it so you can get through the two klikken as quickly as possibly
* Continue to strip out ads or annoyances as I come across them
Right now it just strips out all the facebook, twitter, sharethis, health boxes, and storage pack buttons that I don’t want to accidentally click on, ever.

Bill, that's the fake CBO that was used to steal money from us several months ago. You found that one because you followed the link from the Scam Proposal. If you follow the link from the Legit Proposal, you would find the real CBO:

If I type "Congressional Budget Office", and the system will know the correct one?

Publius Day 985, 00:42

Yeah, you should be fine. To donate to the wrong org you have to actually try to be abusing the system--adding two spaces (instead of one) between "Congressional" and "Budget" or using foreign characters that look the same but are different to the computer (see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IDN_homograph_attack).">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IDN_homogra[..]ack). That scam CBO is long banned, btw.

One thing I have noticed is that the quick links to company/training/library/rest is seen when you are viewing an article. If you are other pages you only get the uptown/downtown option.

@clerica
I'll relook at the pattern matching tomorrow, but maybe it's just that the menu hasn't loaded yet (it is usually last or near-last to run on a page)?
