## Purpose

This is a calculator for determining how close a user is to being

comment-hellbanned on Stack Overflow. You can find your flag counts at

http://stackoverflow.com/users/flag-summary/.

## Caveats

- The flag weight calculation is subject to change, so don't bet the

  farm on it.

- The flag counts are only visible to logged in users, and (generally)

  only your own flag counts. Without authentication, this calculator

  can't scrape the values for you; you have to enter them on the command

  line. Patches welcome.

## Supported Ruby Versions

- The software was tested against Ruby 1.9.3-p194.

- Ruby 1.8.x is unsupported.

## Usage

    so-comment-hellban  

## Examples

These are examples of what you might see when running the tool from the

command line. Runtime results may vary.

With 10 "declined" flags and 90 "helpful" flags:

    $ so-comment-hellban 10 90

    # Stack Overflow Comment-Hellban Calculator

      - Current Flag Weight: 90

      - Hellban Status: You aren't banned...yet.

With 11 "declined" flags and 1 "helpful" flag:

    $ so-comment-hellban 11 1

    # Stack Overflow Comment-Hellban Calculator

      - Current Flag Weight: 0

      - Hellban Status: You are hellbanned.
