KILLFILE 2.0

it does "var thisLink = answers.snapshotItem(i).firstChild;" to get the a href for the board id, gets confused when it doesn't get a url. should be a bit more robust.

A weird thing I just noticed: the killfile works fine on normal threads but not on poll threads?

oic blueski reported same upthread a bit.

Hmmm, this doesn't seem to be working for me. (I'm assuming that the killfile erases everything the killfiled user has posted and not just what he or she posts after you've installed the killfile.)

Subtle!

it doesn't work on JW's username because of the chinese tomato at the end
(it's my fault really)

Sorry, I'm not trying to create drama here, I'm really trying to minimize it.

you can block posts by entering only part of a username tho (koogs version at least)

i have wrong version at home because i get this:
invalid flag after regular expression
[Break on this error] undefined
kilxor.user.js (line 18)

but it works fine on my work pc

So no one knows what I'm doing wrong? I followed all of Jaq's steps, and the only thing I did to the script was change [/fule1/,/fule2/] to [/user's name/].

try the version where you can block partial usernames?

make sure the monkey is brown and not gray

Yep, that was the problem, Tom. Thanks!

>> make sure the monkey is brown and not gray
> Yep, that was the problem, Tom. Thanks!

lol

you can block even odd characters (someone has a name featuring only two chinese characters, another has a crescent and star), you just need to know how to specify them in the javascript. involves hexadecimal to decimal conversions, or vice versa. oh, is in examples in script, use unicode - \uABCD (but view source shows characters as decimal entities - 〹 hence the conversion)

a pox on the bbcode convertor. 〹

Bless this. :D

I always wonder if (some) people have killfiled me. :-(

i never would, even if i was a killfiler, which i'm not.

First!

This thread makes me wonder out loud, is nathalie still posting here?

(Gosh, that joke gets funnier to me every time I make it.)

i think fluffy bear (RIP) killfiled hisself :(

being able to bookmark posts by killfiled users would be really useful imho.

How would you know? (can someone ask the previous poster how he would know?)

Link at the top is dead - is there still a way I can do this?

Follow the steps in this post:
KILLFILE 2.0

With the Greasemonkey script here:

http://www.koogy.clara.co.uk/ilx/boardblacklist.user.js

That script seems to blacklist boards but not people (forgive my stupidity if I'm totally messing this up), I'm a little confused - there's no "var fules" in it anywhere.

sorry, wrong script linked - I haven't got it installed right now. Let me see if I can find it again.

I think it's this one: http://www.koogy.clara.co.uk/ilx/kilxor.user.js

We should come up with one that lets you killfile certain boards' thread from showing up in Site New Answers! I could read everything else and leave out ILM without having to click anything besides refresh!!

^ hi dere solution to nuking iltmi from new answers

I Want to Change the Boards Shown on Site New Answers...

Doh... I can't get this to work, I'm baffled. Greasemonkey and the script are installed and supposedly enabled, I put in the username in the var fules array (the ones in the parentheses, right, like

var fules = [/Jaq/]; 

Doesn't seem to work anymore. I had it installed, just not enabled. Enabled it and nothing.

the killfile code is very delicate in terms of document structure and every time keith adds something new it tends to break. will look into it and post a new version (and also try and make it less delicate)

The class was still 'name', but I didn't look any closer at it. Thanks koogs.

looks like the a tag is no longer {a whatever}name{/a} but {a whatever} name{/a}...

ok, killxor script updated. http://www.koogy.clara.co.uk/ilx/kilxor.user.js

check you have the right version (20090809) and you'll need to copy over your fules list

the extra space wasn't a problem for me as i was using non-anchored substrings but if anyone is using ^ in their fules then they may need to add a space. the problem was an extra level or two of divs in the messages. have now changed the code so it finds the name then moves outwards from the link until it finds the 'message' div. which should be more robust.

board script next...

arg, don't donwload just yet, that version still has debug in it.

ok, fixed

I can't imagine hating someone so much that I couldn't just skip over their posts. :-(

fwiw, I use it when I'm feeling especially tetchy and explosive and I notice certain styles are starting to set me off. It has nothing to do with hating anyone.

i can imagine it but it might make threads not make sense and i would miss important zings and opportunities to feel self-righteous

x-post - that makes more sense

miss important zings and opportunities to feel self-righteous

^^^ generally why I turn it off again. Also, it makes threads load slower at times.

site new answers update (and possibly a rename)
http://www.koogy.clara.net/ilx/sitenewanswerskillzor.user.js

yeah, both these have to compare all threads or messages against all your blacklisted items so they could drag on long threads if you hate lots of people.

(it would help if i hadn't used koogs as a test fule and i could actually see my own posts...)

;_; I don't get what I'm doing wrong. It's a one line change to make it work right? Other GM scripts work fine, so it's not that...

i think people using killfile should say who they are blocking

It works now. I just changed koogs to your nick and I got

If I want to block svend and koogs, you just change the line to look like this, right?

var fules = [/svend/,/koogs/];
