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.

Obi-Wan Kenobi: Odd Ball, do you copy?
Clone Captain "Odd Ball" Davijaan: Copy Red Leader.
Obi-Wan Kenobi: Mark your squad up behind me.
Clone Captain "Odd Ball" Davijaan: We're on your tail General Kenobi. Set axe foils into attack position.

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.

well as usual it is you who is to blame

rock hardy, did you killfile your brain?

^@^ (map), Thursday, 15 February 2007 18:30 (seventeen years ago) link

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!

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.

sam you still see the thread just without the original question

^@^ (map), Thursday, 15 February 2007 18:33 (seventeen years ago) link

No, you see the thread, you just don't see the body of that person's post! The question and everything still shows up, and the responses do as well, and you can turn it off really easily if you really think there is something important you are missing in the "meat" of the question.

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.

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.

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.

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.
