Killfile has arrived!
Posted by Subterranean Railway on Thu Aug 14 01:22:38 2008 edf40wrjww2msgDetail:detailStr fiogf49gjkf0d I decided to add a killfile feature to SubChat, since Uncle Larry is presumably too busy to code one himself. To use it, you need to download a Greasemonkey client, which is available for Firefox here, Safari here, and Internet Explorer here. Opera ought to support this out-of-the-box. Once you have your Greasemonkey client up and running, download my killfile script here. Greasemonkey should automatically detect and install it. Adding names to your killfile is simple. Use the "edit" function in your Greasemonkey client to add names, or edit the script manually if your client doesn't have an edit feature. You should see something like this: `var killfile = [ "Subway Camper", "Phil D." ];` To add names, simply add more handles to the list, separating them with commas. `var killfile = [ "Subway Camper", "Phil D.", "Random Annoying Guy", "Sub-terranean Failway" ];` That's it! Here's to a more peaceful SubChat. Please let me know if you find any bugs. Please don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions/problems installing. **** SOME IMPORTANT NOTES: This will only suppress messages (and all subsequent replies) within threads**. It will not remove messages from the board index. Maybe later; it's nearly 1:30 and I'm tired. Messages will be suppressed after the page is finished loading. This is a weakness in Greasemonkey, not my script. Handles are case-sensitive.

Handles are case-sensitive. Then a short one like mine could be blocked, but a longer one like yours would be difficult assuming that the person being blocked wanted to be difficult.

Posted by sUbTeRRanEan RAIlWaY* on Thu Aug 14 01:47:09 2008, in response to Re: Killfile has arrived!, posted by Easy on Thu Aug 14 01:37:52 2008.* edf40wrjww2msgDetail:detailStr fiogf49gjkf0d True. :-) I'll write a case-insensitive version later. Even though this isn't heavy-duty coding by any stretch of the imagination, I already spent a few hours today writing some pretty nasty code for a database system I'm working on. Another line would be the straw that broke the camel's back. Then again, anyone insane enough to do such a thing with each and every post is probably insane enough to qualify for a free trip on the B7 bus. For the record, I don't have anyone to block either. The many nasty people on this board have long been removed by my mental killfile. Besides, I can think of several posters who contribute really valuable information but always behave like assholes; although I'd love to see them banned, I also enjoy learning from them.

My poor visual cortex just can't ignore stuff like that. :-)

However, since these do exist, the killfile is useful. Congrats on writing and testing your code and providing good documentation on its use. Programming is cool.

I see you just been here, making stupid post after stupid post. Like how you asked where that photo was taken when the answer was already posted. Story of your life...

I personally have no need for this script, but others on the board have expressed interest in it. The mental killfile is also nice, because as I said in a previous post, there are several posters here who are very knowledgeable but are complete assholes. I can learn from what they have to offer while ignoring everything else. My script wouldn't let me do that.

Anyone else interested? I personally can't really see the use of a killfile, but a lot of people wanted one, so here it is. What I really want, though, is the ability to cause puerile posters to actually become the age demonstrated by their posts. There aren't too many three-year-olds with the ability to type, let alone use the Internet.

It's always there in your conscience. So, outside of plainly removing the dog shit (thereby effectively "killfiling" it), it will always fester in the back of your mind's eye and nose, similar to posts from unwelcome members of the community. Now that that's been said, regardless of my esteem for your posts and your general attitude on here, I can only hope your hiatus from here was due to the pursuit of happiness and not due to any tragedy. Welcome back, guardedly.
