Well to tell the truth, it is a joke.

It goes through showing you the cl posts and showing them marked as gone.

Then when it gets to the end it goes to a page that thanks you for reporting (shows your ip) as a TOS violation..yadda yadda.

I built it to screw with some people that were looking for a flag bot to do exactly what you are describing but are not quite as sophisticated as the normal adult webmaster.

I would have hoped that by now I would not have a reputation as a person that would actually build someone a flag bot (well for cheap) or that would parade such a piece of software around.

But then again, I would have hoped that by now I would have a reputation ;p
