do you see where there is a killfiled post? ie you don't see the post, but you do see [deleted post here] or something. a board i was on before had that.

no offense, tom, this is pretty fly to finally see since people have been clamoring for it since forever.

xpost it should display something even more insulting

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.

And some people lack sufficient self-control to ignore the people who want to ignore or to make people want to ignore them in the first place.

TEARS OF ANGUISH here...

HOW DID THIS GET HERE I AM NOT GOOD WITH COMPUTERS

I feel like bill gates getting all these kudos just for writing a how-to based on other peoples' code!

― TOMB07 (trm), Thursday, 15 February 2007 18:45 (seventeen years ago) link

Everyone giving Tombot those kudos is a bit like Bill Gates getting congratulated for writing a how-to based on other people's code! That's what i think anyway.

― PPlains (PPlains), Thursday, 15 February 2007 18:49 (seventeen years ago) link

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.

or what steve said, I guess! ie ignoring someone who doesn't have the ability to ignore YOU just existing makes it a helluva lot easier to read some threads!

Still no luck. I can't think of another thing to check.

Queen Amidala: It is clear to me now that the Republic no longer functions.

― jw (ex machina), Thursday, 15 February 2007 18:52 (seventeen years ago) link

A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away...

Turmoil has engulfed the Galactic Republic. The taxation of trade routes to outlying star systems is in dispute. 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...

there's just no one here I care enough about, even those who bully me, to bother modding my browser for. meh. not worth the energy.

I like PP's new approach.

Shmi Skywalker: All slaves have a transmitter placed somewhere in their body.

Wow, I guess that chard joke was a real thread-killer.

Sam OTM x 2 (though pretending you've killfiled someone will get REALLY wearing when it replaces zinging as the new thing that people do)

Queen Amidala: Although we do not always agree, Your Honor, our two great societies have always lived in peace. The Trade Federation has destroyed all that we have worked so hard to build. If we do not act quickly, all will be lost forever. I ask you to help us... no, I beg you to help us.
[Amidala drops to her knees in front of the Gungan assembly]
Queen Amidala: We are your humble servants.
[One by one, everyone in Amidala's party gets on one knee in front of the Gungan assembly]
Queen Amidala: Our fate is in your hands.
Boss Nass: Hmmmmm.

I like PP's new approach.

Thanks! I've tried really hard to temper my Texas-hating ways. By doing so, I've picked up some really cool home repair tips!

Human-ignore isn't 100% fool (i.e. ILXoR) proof because how many of us are driven mad by someone but still we submit to the sweet torture of reading their posts?

Anakin Skywalker: He won't give up his power. I just learned the terrible truth. I think Chancellor Palpatine is a Sith Lord.
Mace Windu: A Sith Lord?
Anakin Skywalker: Yes, the one we've been looking for.
Mace Windu: How do you know this?
Anakin Skywalker: He knows the ways of the Force. He's been trained to use the Dark Side.
Mace Windu: Are you sure?
Anakin Skywalker: Absolutely.
Mace Windu: Then our worst fears have been realized. We must move quickly if the Jedi Order is to survive.

if you killfile anakin it looks like mace is going crazy

― ^@^ (map), Thursday, 15 February 2007 19:05 (seventeen years ago) link

get your letter cases right

Ah. This may be the answer.

Killfiles are tools imo, similar to settings like "Don't show images". It's easy enough to read the posts if you want, and with Andrew's script, you see which ignored user made the missing post.

Chard with anchovies for lunch - mmmmm.

It's the way I was brought up, Sam! I don't hate you!

RH what fixed it?

― TOMB07 (trm), Thursday, 15 February 2007 19:13 (seventeen years ago) link

In theory I could have multiple killfiles named after different users and I could check or uncheck individuals as necessary , right?

Anakin: I killed them. I killed them all. They're dead, every single one of them. And not just the men, but the women and the children, too. They're like animals, and I slaughtered them like animals. I HATE THEM!

Worst scene in a movie ever^^^^

For example, I could just check killexmachina before I open this thread. ;)

hot tip: killfiling ned speeds up load times by 37%

― ^@^ (map), Thursday, 15 February 2007 19:18 (seventeen years ago) link

fluffy: yes. you could also have multiple killfiles for different users and be thread-specific in the "Included Pages" list. Probably easier to edit that one time per thread than keep turning users on and off!

― TOMB07 (trm), Thursday, 15 February 2007 19:20 (seventeen years ago) link

Tom, I went back to Andrew's script, looked at it for a second, slapped myself in the head, and removed the // from the front of the ignoreUser line. Jaq was my test-killee (pretty impossible to misspell) and it worked. But now I've gone back to it to try to kill GZeus's current screen name, and it won't work again, either with spaces or with plus signs in place of the spaces.

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

― Nu-Edward III (edward iii), Thursday, 15 February 2007 19:24 (seventeen years ago) link

No no no no no not screen name!! user name!! the "Rock Hardy" to your "PEW research center"

― TOMB07 (trm), Thursday, 15 February 2007 19:25 (seventeen years ago) link

You should work in tech support.

― Ed (dali), Thursday, 15 February 2007 19:26 (seventeen years ago) link

Not that I'd ever do such a thing...

― Nu-Edward III (edward iii), Thursday, 15 February 2007 19:27 (seventeen years ago) link

I should work in interface design/data presentation

― TOMB07 (trm), Thursday, 15 February 2007 19:27 (seventeen years ago) link

RH, that was one that gave me fits on ole-ILX. Tried it with spaces and +s and eventually made it the first one on the list, which (maybe coincidentally or maybe because of the case issue) worked.

― jaq (jaq), Thursday, 15 February 2007 19:27 (seventeen years ago) link

Okay, FIXED. GZeus is blocked. THANX FOR PATIENTS, GUISE!

― The PEW Research Center for Panty-Twisting (Rock Hardy), Thursday, 15 February 2007 19:29 (seventeen years ago) link

Okay, so now you can tell me the Mac version.

― accentmonkey (accentmonkey), Thursday, 15 February 2007 19:36 (seventeen years ago) link

Er, you can mail it to me. No need to bore everyone!

― accentmonkey (accentmonkey), Thursday, 15 February 2007 19:36 (seventeen years ago) link

it works basically exactly the same way

― ^@^ (map), Thursday, 15 February 2007 19:36 (seventeen years ago) link

It's exactly the same, but it only works with firefox.

― Ed (dali), Thursday, 15 February 2007 19:37 (seventeen years ago) link

Shouldn't be too tricky to write for one of the Safari scripters (he says without having looked at what Creammonkey will do, natch)
