If you quote nu-SW again I am killfiling you!

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.

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.

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.

This is different than ILX how?

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?)

my service-oriented side is disappointed that Rock Hardy did not get it to work.

I think RH was confusing screen name and user name.

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'm going to just start posting right after people I don't know and paraphrasing them, just to cultivate the right level of paranoia.

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.

if I'd been killfiled by everyone, I could post a million pictures of my latest crush everywhere with total impunity! AWESOME!!!

If no one is watching, I could act like a complete and total CNUT!!! I can go TOTALLY OUT OF CONTROL and NO ONE WILL KNOW!!! And if anyone complained about me, I could killfile them right back.

It would really really be so easy to turn into a complete troll.

Hrrmmm... the power... it's going to my head...

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.

i don't even know who that is, who is blaming me.

― Tyrone Slothrop (Tyrone Slothrop), Thursday, 15 February 2007 18:31 (seventeen years ago) link

leave it right where it is! comments aren't read by the machinery. you just fill the array in between the [ ] with whoever you don't like.

― TOMB07 (trm), Thursday, 15 February 2007 18:31 (seventeen years ago) link

Do I replace the line

var fule = fules[k].replace(' ', '+');

with

var fules = ['LaughRiot', 'never gets old'];

xpost, PROBABLY!
