/* easyblock.js - Script to quickly block spambots By Legoktm, with assistance from Ori.livneh and MZMcBride

Adds two tabs, "OP: Spambot block" and "Spambot block". OP will block for 6 months, and regular will do 3. If the user is an account, it will be indefinite. The script will forward you to Special:Nuke once done.

This script very likely may contain bugs, use at your own risk.
