//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?

well as usual it is you who is to blame

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.

{
var fule = fules[k].replace(' ', '+');
var posts;
posts = document.evaluate("//a[@href='userinfo.php?username=" + fule + "']",
document,

}
}

you see the thread but not the first post

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.

xpost it should display something even more insulting

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

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.

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...

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!
