Link Only Answer Automatic Flagging

Thank you to Manishearth for giving me the idea here

Autonavigate/autocomment "close/flag offtopic" for MSO

As a very avid user of the Stack Exchange, I try to make this place the most efficient it can be. One of the tasks involved with this is flagging. In this particular case, it is flagging answers that only contain links. I come across at least 20 of these a day. As a result, I got tired of doing the same process over and over again. So I decided to automate the process

##How to use

Find a ridiculous post that only contains a link

Click the Link Only link right next to the flag link

share | edit | flag | Link Only

It will bring up the flagging UI, and automatically navigate to the "not an answer flag option.

It will also downvote and leave this comment

Link Only Answers are not helpful on this site. If you are going to link to a post, then you need to summarize it in your answer. That way, if the link ever dies, this answer will still be useful. See this answer for clarification.

##How to install

You can grab the Greasemonkey script from this location
