RE: Scripts?
The problem is that people do not see this as "half accurate". They see it and interpret it as "working" or "not working". And most believe it is working because they don't know any better...

People expect such things to be correct. And despite what you may say, such blockcheckers are not.

The misconception is even enlarged when such blockcheckers respond with "offline" while in fact, they do NOT know if the email is offline or not!!!

It would have been different if they returned "we do not know. The user may have checked that privacy option, so we can never be sure.", since that is an accurate response. "offline" is not accurate at all, in any sense, it is a serious misconception, misinformation, aka it is simply wrong.

But the common user does not know this, but he does interpret it as being accurate.

And because of the lack of a proper and correct response, in any case, the common user is left in the dark and left with the big misconceptions that blockcheckers do work.
