Now I'M paranoid that Tom can't see my inquiry. This is gonna mess with a lot of peoples heads.

"Hey, are you kilxoring me?"
"..."
"Dude, can you see this"
"..."
"AM I OR AM I NOT ON YOUR KILXOR LIST?!?!"

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.

fluffy did you make sure usernames are set to display in your ilx settings?

why is this thread empty? LOLZ

It works. Sorry to make you repeat that. This is exactly the type of interaction I try to avoid having with my IT people at work.

"My computer isn't working."
"Did you try turning it on."
"Oh. Oh my. Oh, wow, you won't believe this. How embarrassing. I..."
"I assure you that I will believe it. Don't forget to fill out our service satisfaction survey. Thank you." *click*

Thanks Tom.

I'm having a lot of fun predicting who people are killfiling.

There are going to be some bizarre disconnects on the meta threads.

I love how no-one has responded to Jon's comment :)

The only problem I have with this is that it's almost too smooth - it's easy to miss a load of killed posts. Still, as remarked on the moderator thread, it's a big improvement.

― toby (tsg20), Thursday, 15 February 2007 17:46 (seventeen years ago) link

I do hope we get the inevitable "post your killfile list" thread soon. That might conceivably be one worth turning Greasemonkey off for.

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.

― nabisco (nabisco), Thursday, 15 February 2007 17:52 (seventeen years ago) link

I imagine lots of threads that go:

- I like chard better than collard greens.
- Really? I like turnip greens.
- THE HOLOCAUST NEVER HAPPENED.
- Yeah, turnip greens are good.
- I KNOW WHERE YOU LIVE AND WILL KILL YOU.
- You know what you have to try, is cooking them with anchovy.

― nabisco (nabisco), Thursday, 15 February 2007 17:55 (seventeen years ago) link

as tom already pointed out, it's really easy to toggle greasemonkey on and off, so it's not THAT potentially confusing really. i dunno. we'll see. also, toby otm, can't wait for the YOUR BOTTOM 8 thread.

Kate if you don't lay off the whole self-martyring "oh noes no one likes me everyone has killfiled me" whining I am going to killfile you.

― jw (ex machina), Thursday, 15 February 2007 18:00 (seventeen years ago) link

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

This knowledge is changing my impulses. It hasn't changed my actions yet, but it is changing my impulses. I just wonder if anyone else has the same impulses as a result of this knowledge.

It was democracy, rather than liberty, I think (or was the Brit version different?).

i tried reversing the polarity of the killfile so that the people you killfile are in fact killfiling you, but no joy.

― ^@^ (map), Thursday, 15 February 2007 18:03 (seventeen years ago) link

I kind of doubt anyone will killfile people they don't like but like a) laughing at or b) arguing with. So 99% of us have nothing to worry about.

1) i have done a complete u-turn on this and now think the killfile is a brilliant idea, and the answer to many of ILX's current woes.

2) "a top-tier farmer of cock" is the official grimly phrase of the month.

― grimly fiendish (simon), Thursday, 15 February 2007 18:06 (seventeen years ago) link

I would never ever say if I'd killfiled someone or not. I mean, that would take *all* the fun out of it.

(Should there be a sense of "fun" in the idea of killfiling? Or is that a terrible schadenfreude which could wear off quickly?)

― masonic boom (kate), Thursday, 15 February 2007 18:06 (seventeen years ago) link

I think RH was confusing screen name and user name.

― onimo (nu_onimo), Thursday, 15 February 2007 18:08 (seventeen years ago) link

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 think RH was confusing screen name and user name.

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. Pain in the ass.

remember on usenet when people would announced you were now in their killfile they'd say *PLONK*?? we should have a nu-ilx version of that like you *YOU'VE BEEN KATED* or something.

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.
