I mean personally I find all the generic thank you messages annoying and only comment on GA's with something along the lines of "what is your favorite flavor of jam"
always thanks after winning something tho

And some groups (like APG, apparently) want people to comment.
I'd imagine this script isn't for you, rather for people who want comments in their giveaways.

Should usually refers to an encouraged act (optional choice). It's pretty much a rule >_>

It's indeed very handy for our APG group. Thanks a lot for another wonderful script Kelnage :)

For clarification, what does this do differently from SG++'s entry-comment script, which functions in seemingly exactly the same manner?

I was thinking about your script and it ocurred to me that a script that checks if a person that entered a GA has bumped the thread would be really nice.
For example:
In one of my invite-only GAs, only 1 guy made a comment on the GA (as you can see thanks to your script) and none of them bumped the thread, which in my opnion is even more important than a comment in a GA. Out of 300+ entries, only 50 bumps is quite sad.

I never see the point of bumping a thread that's been bumped like 5 minutes ago, which is what often happens when a giveaway thread is new.

It doesn't hurt to bump anyway, but I see your point. After a while, however, there is no excuse for not bumping, especially when the creator has asked for it. Every creator loves bumps.

And then people will just start using scripts that post generic "thanks for ga bruh" messages on every entry. I guess it half solves the problem, but it doesn't really prove any form of appreciation from those messages. I guess you could have the script also show what the message the user actually said was and eventually you'll start picking up on patterns from various people, but other than that it kinda seems like an unsolvable problem. But if a thanks messages is all you want from those group GA's, then I guess it works.

Mildly annoying yeah. The best part is people being rude about it when you point out that it's meaningless

Our group, Actually Playing Games, has a rule that members must comment on all group GAs that they enter. Enforcing can be pretty hard - especially on GAs with many entries/comments. So I wrote this Greasemonkey/Tampermonkey userscript to speed up the process - and thought others might be able to use it too.
To use my script, you will need to have the appropriate extension installed in Chrome (Tampermonkey) or Firefox (Greasemonkey) and then go to this page, which should automatically prompt you to install the userscript (although you may need to add github.com to a whitelist in the extension for installing userscripts from first).
To use it, go to any GA's entries page, and you'll see a button, which will check who has commented on that GA and then add either a tick or a cross next to each users name depending on whether they have commented or not. Please report here if you have any problems using the script.
I expect to add an additional feature to allow a user to filter down to a particular group when doing a check. Other features/requirements would be very welcome.
