Hi,
Thanks for the suggestion. IT is definitely an idea, but my main concern
revolves mainly on the additional load that will be placed on the WOT servers
(which is multiplied by the number of external resources on any given page a
user is on and also by the number of users who are using ScriptNo).
As well, some users may question this feature (if it were implemented) as it
suggests that their browsing activities are being transmitted every time they
click on the ScriptNo widget.
This is definitely an idea though, but I'll invite more users to discuss this
further :)

Good points. I think I made the suggestion of not changing the default
behavior of the program but rather making this an option that defaults off and
could be turned on. While the load on WOT might still increase, the lack of a
default-on behavior would minimize this. Additionally, you would only need to
query the color once for each site and store it, eliminating repeat traffic, or
at least refreshing only periodically. You wouldn't need to query the color of
any site that a user had selected an action for (block, trust, etc) either.
Finally, perhaps the query could be done only just-in-time, when the user
clicks the ScriptNo icon. If so, then if the user never clicks, then there is
zero traffic.
As far as the user knowing that information was being transmitted, a message by
the option stating that it automatically does the same thing as clicking the
"rating" button should be sufficient, given that it's off by default.
Just some ideas.
