Automated vote counting

[maxwell]

trying to test this out in chrome, doesn't seem to work though. have firefox on my laptop because i was planning to try to do something like this, will try it out there later

If the script is very sure that a particular comment is for a particular vote or unvote, it will automatically default to that (the player name needs to be spelled exactly right, although case doesn't matter, and be in a standard format like vote: callforjudgement, unvote, vote callforjudgement or VOTE: callforjudgement), so that in the obvious cases, the mod won't have to do the quality check (the quality check is still required in the case that the player misspells or abbreviates the name, though, or uses an unusual format).

Would it be possible to allow for aliasing of names? For instance, if people are constantly abbreviating a name the same way, like

Vote: cfj

, you could quality check it once and designate all future votes for cfj to automatically be counted as votes for callforjudgment.

@maxwell: I think putting the name in the replacement list should work, although I'm not 100% certain about that.

this works.

great extension, the actual vote counting in votecounts usually isn't much trouble but formatting everything can be time-consuming and this takes the work out of it.
