KILLFILE HOW-TO

Message Bookmarked

Bookmark Removed

First, download Firefox.

Then, download and install the Greasemonkey extension.

After you've restarted Firefox with Greasemonkey installed, there should be a little grinning monkey icon in the bottom corner.

Now download the killfile script (mine is Will's script from the old hoonja-doonja thread, with sandbox added). Greasemonkey should pop up with a prompt when you click that link; install the script.

You have to tell Greasemonkey where your text editor is for adding entries to the killfile, so open a new tab and type "about:config" into the URL bar. Type "grease" into the Filter field. There should be a preference named "greasemonkey.editor"; double-click it and enter C:\WINDOWS\NOTEPAD.EXE as the value. Now close the tab.

It's time to add boring jerks to a list!
Either right-click the monkey icon or go to the Greasemonkey submenu under the Tools menu. Select "Manage User Scripts...", select "kilxor," and hit Edit. Add user names (not login names) to where I've put 'That+One+Guy' etc.

Make sure to replace all spaces in usernames with +, and get your letter cases right. If you get confused by a page because everybody else is yelling at some idiot you can no longer see, just click on the monkey to turn him grey again and hit reload.

OK, if you can still read me, please can you now explain to me how to download and install Firefox when you're on a Citrixed system and you have no admin rights to install any software. If there are such L33T haX0rs around here, surely someone has to figure out how to do this.

― masonic boom (kate), Thursday, 15 February 2007 16:35 (seventeen years ago) link

You don't need administrator priv to install Firefox. I can do it and I am on a similar set up to what you are describing.

You don't need administrator priv to install Firefox

Would that it were so.

I have no admin rights on mine own workstation at all - I can't even change the wallpaper, let alone install programs.

― masonic boom (kate), Thursday, 15 February 2007 16:41 (seventeen years ago) link

― Euai Kapaui (tracerhand), Thursday, 15 February 2007 16:42 (seventeen years ago) link

yeah, mines the same down to the wallpaper but i dont need to kill anyone, so

― sunny successor (katarina), Thursday, 15 February 2007 16:42 (seventeen years ago) link

Ohh...sorry, I didn't realize you were that restricted, mine allows me some minor workstation changes which if you can do that you can add Firefox.

― Allyzay heard you got beat up in a club. (Allyzay Eisenschefter), Thursday, 15 February 2007 16:43 (seventeen years ago) link

I can't imagine getting anything done on a Windows machine without admin privs!

― jw (ex machina), Thursday, 15 February 2007 16:53 (seventeen years ago) link

There should be a preference named "greasemonkey.editor"

This didn't come up for me, for some reason. Firefox doesn't seem like it works the way it supposed to on my work computer, at home it is always fine but my work one doesn't always run extensions like adblock the way it should.

― The Many Faces of Gordon Jump (Leon), Thursday, 15 February 2007 16:54 (seventeen years ago) link

I just tried this out and the people I have killfiled still appear. Is it only on posts they make from now on that they'll be killed?

Well, I can do my work, which is what is important to our sys admins.

My machine is locked down tighter than others... some people can change their wallpaper. The sys admin probably specifically locked mine down tight because he knows I used to be an actual programmer! Ha ha. I can't even set up mine own ODBCs and stuff, which is just stupid, that's how paranoid they are. I have to ask the sys admin to set them up for me, systemwide.

― Paul Eater (eater), Thursday, 15 February 2007 16:57 (seventeen years ago) link

Leon:

you can right-click in about:config, select New -> String. Name it greasemonkey.editor and give it the notepad path as the value. I had a bitch of a time with that too.

Mark C: Check that kilxor is enabled, the monkey is grinning, and that you have the usernames in there correctly. do you have usernames set to display on your normal ILX settings?

― Allyzay heard you got beat up in a club. (Allyzay Eisenschefter), Thursday, 15 February 2007 17:05 (seventeen years ago) link

on Mac I think you can skip that step.
otherwise it should be the path to textedit, in your Applications folder.

― TOMB07 (trm), Thursday, 15 February 2007 17:13 (seventeen years ago) link

Tom - that's perfect, it was because I didn't have usernames set to display. Thanks for this.

On my PC Firefox 2.0.0.1 Greasemonkey.editor doesn't appear in the about:config thingy but it doesn't seem to matter - you can tell it which text editor to use after you've opened Greasemonkey from your browser.

― jw (ex machina), Thursday, 15 February 2007 17:15 (seventeen years ago) link

OK, I copied the username, put it between '' and substituted + for the spaces. I saved it. I refreshed my page, and the user is still there. Greasemonkey is on (red) and kilxor is checked. Any ideas as to why it's not working?

Still no luck. Doesn't really matter, the person I'm trying to block has already changed his username today, and I'm not going to chase after him. Obviously he understands that he's a top-tier farmer of cock and wants to keep it that way.

This is producing a whole load of weird and sometimes conflicting reactions in me. Interesting.

Half of me is all "eh, I can't be bothered responding to anyone because everyone has probably killfiled me anyway".

And the other half of me wants to make monkey faces at people like putting the bunny ears behind their heads with your hands, because I know that they can't see me.

― masonic boom (kate), Thursday, 15 February 2007 17:52 (seventeen years ago) link

Killfiling still feels like some kind of weird epistemological experiment to me. Like: can what you don't know hurt you? Is out of sight out of mind? This summer, TOMBOT is ... The KILLFILER.

I'm not being self martyring, some people did actually state explicitly that they had killfiled me on the mod board.

It was a little buggy with me, and then after a couple uninstall/reinstalls finally worked, re: Rock Hardy's problem. COMPUTERS BE TEMPERMENTAL.

I don't see why it matters whether or not who one's killfiled is revealed? If you're obsessed with the opinions of people who don't like you, you have issues.

― METAL ROBOTIC HEAD FACE (scarymonster), Thursday, 15 February 2007 18:09 (seventeen years ago) link

yeah the funny thing is i was thinking 'who would actually get killfiled by someone anyone on ILX' and i can only think of about five or six people tops, which highlights the absurdity of it all further perhaps.

this is partly because as jessie observes some people are too 'love-to-hate/laugh at' for someone to want to actually block 'em.

I was, but I went in and changed it and still no luck. I'm going to try killfiling someone else to see if I can get it to work at all. I changed the greasemonkey:editor value to [harddrivename]:Applications:TextEdit and no luck being able to edit to add or delete targets, so I have to uninstall the script, open it in TextEdit to make changes, then reinstall it.

Okay, I've been trying Andrew's script and no luck, so let's try Will's script. But I have a question. Here's the script:

// ==UserScript==
// @name kilxor
// @namespace
// @description
// @include http://ilx.wh3rd.net/*
// @include http://ilx.p3r.net/*
// @include http://ilx.thehold.net/*
// ==/UserScript==

//Put the login names you want to excise in this array like so:
var fules = ['LaughRiot', 'never gets old'];
//And that's it for configuration.

for(var k = 0; k < fules.length; k++)
{
var fule = fules[k].replace(' ', '+');
var posts;
posts = document.evaluate("//a[@href='userinfo.php?username=" + fule + "']",
document,
null,
XPathResult.UNORDERED_NODE_SNAPSHOT_TYPE,
null);
//GM_log('number of posts by ' + fule + ': ' + posts.snapshotLength);
for (var i = 0; i < posts.snapshotLength; i++)
{
var thisLink = posts.snapshotItem(i);
thisLink.parentNode.parentNode.parentNode.removeChild(thisLink.parentNode.parentNode);
}
}

Where exactly do I put the "var fules = ['LaughRiot', 'never gets old'];" line? In Andrew's script, the customization goes at the very end. Is that where I put the line in Will's version, or somewhere further up?

The problem with killfilters on message boards is that they quickly turn you into a special, sensitive, magical princess, while not really erasing unpleasant users from your consciousness: Far too frequently, you realize that you're missing something, which will either disconnect you from the thread of conversation or irritate you to the point of removing the filter.

Far too frequently, you realize that you're missing something, which will either disconnect you from the thread of conversation or irritate you to the point of removing the filter.

I dunno, dude, if you've not found anything worthwhile about the person BEFORE you killfiled them, why would you suddenly want to see if they've developed a sense of humor or some modicum of intelligence or decorum AFTER you killfile them? That argument is nonsense and really if you feel that way and wonder what people you dislike are saying that badly, you are a special, sensitive, magical princess indeed.

It's not so much that you want to see what these folks have said in isolation, but the context of other users you haven't killfiled responding to them just becomes too much to bear. Sure, some folks have enough self-control to ignore these posts, but the very reason people use killfiles in the first place is that they LACK sufficient self-control to human-ignore the primary objects of their irritation.

That's only partially true. I personally used the killfile on two people: one who goes out of their way to start shit with me and friends of mine, and another who actually repulses me with the things he says. I've human-ignored the latter forever now; it's just nice to get rid of him. The former is extremely difficult to just ignore after a while. Using it makes my experience on ILX a lot better. I'm sure you are right in some cases, but it's rather insulting and precious to go around making that assumption.

Hoping to resolve the matter with a blockade of deadly battleships, the greedy Trade Federation has stopped all shipping to the small planet of Naboo. While the Congress of the Republic endlessly debates this alarming chain of events, the Supreme Chancellor has secretly dispatched two Jedi Knights, the guardians of peace and justice in the galaxy, to settle the conflict...

In the left-hand pane, select [script name] and click Edit. This should open the installed version of [script name] in your favorite text editor. (If it doesn't, verify that .js files are associated with your favorite text editor.)

I assume that's what the part about going into about:config and changing greasemonkey.editor is about. Is there somewhere in there to specifically link all .js files to an app?

Er I mean I ain't killfiling anyone. (Also I'm sure no-one would killfile harmless ol' me [simpers].) xp to self

this thread is not for arguing the merits of killfile usage, it is for questions about the implementation of killfiles. If you're sad that it's come to this, complain on the mod request board about how you would ban all of this white crybabies. thx.

TS: crybabies who do something to alleviate the nuisances in their life vs. crybabies who complain about the character flaws of people who feel their life contains nuisances which can and should be alleviated

The only thing I will crybaby about is that I don't think I should have to install and run a completely different web browser in order to get access to killfile functionality. That is a minor WAAAAAAAAAAAAH, though.

Dan, what browser do you use?

It took minutes to install firefox. It took, like, lifetimes to read "ILX, a plea". Compare and contrast.

Actually I was just wondering how quickly I could read ILX if I kilxor'd Ned, Ally, kate, jaymc, etc.

Ouch.

This is an interesting experiment, but I have absolutely no interest in applying it myself. I am curious if anyone is killfiling me, though, and there's one or two people who I might even wish would do so.

I was thinking, what about a LOVEFILE?, but that sounds totally wrong. More wrong than a KILLFILE, what a messed up world we live in.
