KILLFILE 2.0

hey guys, i was just thinking you know what would be cool? to killfile someone with YOUR MIND, just erase whatever they say and pretend like they're not there

haha i did not think it was possible to make that joke w/o just not posting, kudos

buuuuuuuuump

was thinking it'd be cool if you could somehow killfile someone with your mind, would be p.cool I think. cd just erase wht they say and pretend they're not there

pretty sure there's a word for it. "ignoring", look it up!

forks already posted that pic, bnw

xp dom I appreciate your joeks but seriously nagl in this thread

right then, I can't get this to work

- install the greasemonkey addon in firefox
- add the userscript in this post by koogs
- edit the script by replacing /fule1/ by the poster you wish to get rid of, e.g. /StanM/ and save the script
- make sure greasemonkey is enabled, refresh the page if necessary or close/restart firefox
- ?

hooray! it works!

man this thread always makes me so curious

.......no reply........

Can someone congratulate kingfish for me, please?

Thanks

I'm not using it anymore, though, it's not ideal. I found myself disabling it to see what people were replying to all the time.

it's not as if you can't see that they posted, you just see theier name and then "post deleted", so it does kinda make you wanna know what they said even though you killfiled em.

It stopped working for me at some point, or worked intermittently (posts would get through) but eventually the poster(s) in question finally chilled the hell out and cut down their posting so I could through a day's posts without stupid instigations popping up

koogs is my hero, this is ace

It can be pretty annoying when lots of people are using their display names to reference somebody I've killfiled though...

that last can be handled by tightening up the pattern that you're matching against - just including the ()s should restrict it enough (although you may have to escape them with \ (maybe \\) beforehand as ( and ) are part of regexp syntax)

wouldn't be impossible to replace the deleted sections with a div that was just hidden rather than deleted and a link to unhide the text

Trying this for the first time now but I can't get it to work. Clicking "edit this user script" in options just doesn't do anything.

On a mac here. Could I manually open the .js file and edit in texteditor before I install it?

To answer my own question: yes, that works too. Great!

yeah, the 'edit this script' button just opens the editor you've defined (and i'm guessing the problem is that you haven't defined an editor and the default is missing)

itt no names no credibility

who updated this thread?

Koogs, that indeed was it (no defined editor, or wrongly defined, and can't seem to change that now), but I did it manually and it works like a charm, cheers!

Surprised StanM hasn't come in to ask the exact same question as Hungry's revive yet tbh

I think this just means everybody is going to go out of their way to mention ade to see if they are 'the one'

it's not as if you can't see that they posted, you just see theier name and then "post deleted", so it does kinda make you wanna know what they said even though you killfiled em.

People who use this, is that true? I don't want to go through the trouble of enabling this if that's the case. Please to confirm or deny this thank you in advance.

the 'post deleted' bit is true, the latter bit definitely not, otherwise why bother killfiling em

You mean the part about it making you want to know what they said? lol. It still seems weird to me that you'd see their usename and "post deleted" but good to know in any event. Ta!

the substitution replaces the text of what the person posted, not so much the entire post

this line is responsible for the message, just change it

div.innerHTML = "<div>Post by " + poster + " deleted<br /><hr/></div>";

to, perhaps,

div.innerHTML = "<div>Post deleted<br /><hr/></div>";

don't think you can remove all the evidence - even if you make the div empty the horizontal lines will still be there so you'll still know something is missing.
