Voat uses some anti-fraud stuff and the JavaScript on the page needs to run for the form to be submitted. Your/his approach won’t work. You can’t “send all the post requests” because you don’t have the generated tokens just by scraping the html. That is the reason for using selenium, because PuttItOut only gave api access to about 2 accounts.

Really I think your approach is crap, and question whether it will actually work. I can run this script on a cron job every day and not have to think about your copy/paste nonsense.

Feel free to improve it, but you have to open a new window to delete the submission/comment, fyi.

it might be possible to see deleted comments / posts

No it's not.

The latest commit and all the file change dates load via JavaScript. Without js, it's only a list of files.

Javascript was required on github before Microsoft announced the acquisition, and the deal hasn't closed yet.

I program malware. You are wrong.

That's what I ended up doing :)

Performance wasn't the main concern with this problem. Breaking apart the 2500 line function was. I managed to solve the problem by creating a new class with static functions, then using the reflective GetMethod stuff. One thing I couldn't figure out with the dictionary of delegates route was where to put and instantiate the dictionary. Then there is the added problem of making sure all functions are in the dictionary for lookup. My way, if the method exists, it is callable.

A shell came with every version of DOS/Windows until Win 95. I remember because I was just getting good at coding some stuff, and writing stuff in qbasic, and then the new version had no shell and so I started playing with linux.
