Is there a way to killfile a thread instead of a poster?

Oh, it's Euler! Sorry, I didn't have my readers on.
I must confess that I've never understood the purpose of killfiling. I can't be the only one who possesses the ability to not read a thing I don't care to read.
Unless I am the only one...whoa.

some of us have reached a point where seeing certain people's dns and accompanying bullshit over the course of a decade plus have conditioned us to see red when those posters say or do anything, so better for our health and the health of the board that we leave it be.
also, some posters (and oddly, often the same ones that offend!) tend to clog up whole threads (or boards!) with their nonstop blithering, so it's nice to have the option to enjoy the thread/board minus their influence.
though more power to you if you have a killfile... in your MIND
― Fuck the NRA (ulysses), Thursday, 13 August 2020 15:02 (four years ago) link
Finally crossed over from Killfile of the Mind to Killfile of the Greasemonkey, and the absolute best thing about it, is if you have even minimal programming skills, you can script it so that your poxy FULES are actually repeating very amusing jokes instead of their usual blethering, which has increased my enjoyment of ILX substantially.
Highly reccommend. *PLEASE* killfile me.

> Is there a way to killfile a thread instead of a poster?
wouldn't be too hard (in fact i vaguely remember doing this already). threads can appear in many places though, blocking them everywhere might be a pain. and you'd have to enter the threadid somewhere, which is a bit oblique.
― koogs, Thursday, 13 August 2020 15:33 (four years ago) link
IIRC the old script was easily edited to do this because I did it
of course, I then stopped using it and then switch computers about a billion times so I don't remember what I did

Pretty much. Killfile is for the 1%.

if you want to make a name for yourself as a poster, killfile EVERYONE. then just go into threads with appealing that interest you and speak your mind.
no context. no discursive triangulation. just posting. pure posting.

new snatk script - site new answers thread killer
unfortunately, threads are numbered per-board, so you need to supply the boardid as well as the threadid. i also had to take care of the 'updated' threads, which have an extra css attribute. but generally the structure of a thread link is easier than a post so code is shorter.
it *might* work in places other than Site New Answers. let's see...
yes. also works in 'new answers' (ie board view) - go to HTML Playground to test.

how do I killfile someone with a forward-slash in their username? it screws up the coding, is there a code sequence I can encase that slash in?
― Überschadenfreude (sleeve), Friday, 19 February 2021 01:39 (three years ago) link
I know you can killfile either display name (the one in parentheses or the one not) so maybe just killfile their other name?
