-- Whois Data
-- Account Data
-- Query Data
-- Pushers List
+- User's ID - DONE

+- Account Data - DONE

+- IPs + ipinfo Data - DONE
 - List of the rooms the user is participating in, divided into 1:1 conversations and larger rooms
-- The content of the messages they've sent (if they were sent to rooms your server is participating in)
-- Copies of any media they've sent?
+- Any other usernames associated with that IP
+- Timestamp for when illegal material was accessed
 - Description of report format and contents (to guide the reader)
 7) Add a room report function to create a properly formatted report for rdlist
 8) Add a function to extract a users email or 3PID
 9) Do room shutdowns in parallel?
 10) Add function for probing the support email of another server automatically
 11) Automated incident report email to other server owners for more scalable coordination

+This script can automatically generate reports about user accounts for law enforcement.
