Feature request for MS URL converter: convert user profile URL to /spammers/ link #98

Description

@talflon

When given a link to a site profile (site/users/nnnn/...), it should look up if that SE site user is in the MS database and if so return a /spammers/nnnn link.

When given a link to the SE user's "network" profile (stackexchange.com/users/nnnn/...), it should list the individual site accounts for that user, along with /spammers/nnnn links for whichever of them are in the MS database. I think that wouldn't be able to include deleted accounts of the SE user, right? If so there should be a short mention of that fact to the user.

I believe this would be an easier and less resource-consuming way for someone to search for a user on MS. Alternatives I have tried:

  • MS text search for username: more server resources, less accurate if name was changed
  • Charcoal HQ text search: a little awkward to use, not a direct link
