KILLFILE 2.0

o hai this doesn't seem to work on v2.2. a little help?

curse them for changing stuff. will look into it.

done. there's a new P around the status line which means everything is one level deeper, that was the problem.

http://www.koogy.clara.co.uk/ilx/kilxor.user.js

gracias!

koogs, that's excellent, thanks!

howto link no worky :-(

How to:
1) install Firefox
2) install Greasemonkey extension
3) click on koog's link above and install the script
4) right click on smiley monkey face at lower right of FF
5) choose to Manage User Scripts
6) select kilxor and click Edit button - should open script with notepad
7) add user names to the line (inside the square brackets, using the info in the comments of the script): var fules = [ /Jaq/ ];
8) Save file
9) Make sure Enabled box is ticked. Click okay to close Greasemonkey manager dialog.

thx!

works fine, except, how exactly do I shot more than one user?

You have to pick the one you hate the most.

Nobody?

;-)

then why you want to kill them?

(I meant: nobody replies to my question? - and then ;-) )

Like this:

var fules = [/Leee/,/Leee's Ugly Face/];

thanks!

We should come up with one that lets you killfile certain boards' thread from showing up in Site New Answers! I could read everything else and leave out ILM without having to click anything besides refresh!!

I think that's doable - parse on class="thread" and remove where there's a match from your kill array. Don't know if I have time to play with it today myself though.

yeah I definitely don't that's why I posted the idea here hoping perhaps koogs or somebody was bored

Could board bookmarks also be added into this? Not exactly Killfile-related, though.

i know nothing about site new answers. oh, there. looks easy enough but i doubt i'll have the time for a while. will see.

first draft. blanks divs rather than deleting them, board numbers are strings. will tidy up when i have time.

http://www.koogy.clara.co.uk/ilx/boardblacklist.user.js

ok, unwanted DIVs now set to not display.

also, choice of a blacklist or a whitelist, set WANT or DO_NOT_WANT as appropriate. see examples in code.

divvies

Oh my god how could I have been posting here for six fucking years and never have ever clicked on "site new answers"? I AM SO DUM

It was just added in Keith's last upgrade, you're ok!

koogs you are awesome and heroic ty

shralp a dik ilm never i look at u again

curiously it seems that the killfile doesn't work on poll threads (i see blocked user posts on them)

probably because the dom tree has another level of crap in it for those.

it's currently looking for "//div/p/*[@class='name']" - divs at any level containing a paragraph containg something that has class=name attribute. i guess it needs to be vaguer. will look into it. am currently trying to find the sizes of 44000 jpegs though for our massive launch tomorrow. so it probably won't be today.

hey no problem just thought i would mention it, just surprised i hadn't noticed it before!

nope, looks ok on mine (disney thread)

the opening question is still shown though, as it's a big form.

there should be a poll about who is the most killfiled user and then they should be banned. that would be fun.

And then the next round the next day, and the next the next, and so on until only Estela is left.

now you're just being silly

D@ano, sorry to not be able to catch up in London last weekend - I spent most of it spewing.

we have that effect on visitors

:}

yeh sorry it is working on poll threads but on one i'm seeing some posts blocked and others by same user on same thread are not. odd. no matter.

can you email me the details sieve. ta.

have done

ok, slight update uploaded - "if (poster != null)"...

was breaking on polls due to the auto bump post from the system being in slightly different format to normal posts.

the site new answers killfile is sometimes working, sometimes not.
is anybody else noticing this?

url has no properties on line 43.

saw something similar with the other code - works ok until you hit a page with poll results in it - poll results are missing one of the things the code looks for so it falls over.

is the NOT WORKSAFE entry - it's in an extra <span>. will fix it this weekend.

thanks dude! you rule.

now handles NOT WORK SAFE warnings on site new answers page (7am sunday morning). haven't been able to test it against live site because there are currently no warnings on site new answers but it works against the copy i took so...

http://www.koogy.clara.co.uk/ilx/boardblacklist.user.js

I stuck one in for you to test... Top of HTML playground if you have to bump it by the time you see this.

cheers. was a little bug in it - my debugging limit of 20 messages was still in there (oops) but other than that it's ok. updated now.

baseball and noizeboard values only in there as an example of usage 8)

Is there a reason why threads from ModReqFor are showing up even if my specified WANT list does not include it?

is that bang up to date Lee (i just fixed something similar when there was a NOT WORK SAFE thing in the page)

this morning the problem i'm having is not being able to find SiteNewAnswers. has something changed?

wasn't logged in. schoolboy error.

I installed the one linked in this post, which I reinstalled and re-edited. Still get ModReqFor. Not an urgent deal, though.

the "LOCKED" causes problems.

it does "var thisLink = answers.snapshotItem(i).firstChild;" to get the a href for the board id, gets confused when it doesn't get a url. should be a bit more robust.

A weird thing I just noticed: the killfile works fine on normal threads but not on poll threads?

oic blueski reported same upthread a bit.

Hmmm, this doesn't seem to be working for me. (I'm assuming that the killfile erases everything the killfiled user has posted and not just what he or she posts after you've installed the killfile.)

Subtle!

it doesn't work on JW's username because of the chinese tomato at the end
(it's my fault really)

Sorry, I'm not trying to create drama here, I'm really trying to minimize it.

you can block posts by entering only part of a username tho (koogs version at least)

i have wrong version at home because i get this:
invalid flag after regular expression
[Break on this error] undefined
kilxor.user.js (line 18)

but it works fine on my work pc

So no one knows what I'm doing wrong? I followed all of Jaq's steps, and the only thing I did to the script was change [/fule1/,/fule2/] to [/user's name/].

try the version where you can block partial usernames?

make sure the monkey is brown and not gray

Yep, that was the problem, Tom. Thanks!

>> make sure the monkey is brown and not gray
> Yep, that was the problem, Tom. Thanks!

lol

you can block even odd characters (someone has a name featuring only two chinese characters, another has a crescent and star), you just need to know how to specify them in the javascript. involves hexadecimal to decimal conversions, or vice versa. oh, is in examples in script, use unicode - \uABCD (but view source shows characters as decimal entities - 〹 hence the conversion)

a pox on the bbcode convertor. &#12345;

Bless this. :D

I always wonder if (some) people have killfiled me. :-(

i never would, even if i was a killfiler, which i'm not.

First!

This thread makes me wonder out loud, is nathalie still posting here?

(Gosh, that joke gets funnier to me every time I make it.)

i think fluffy bear (RIP) killfiled hisself :(

being able to bookmark posts by killfiled users would be really useful imho.

How would you know? (can someone ask the previous poster how he would know?)

Link at the top is dead - is there still a way I can do this?

Follow the steps in this post:
KILLFILE 2.0

With the Greasemonkey script here:

http://www.koogy.clara.co.uk/ilx/boardblacklist.user.js

That script seems to blacklist boards but not people (forgive my stupidity if I'm totally messing this up), I'm a little confused - there's no "var fules" in it anywhere.

sorry, wrong script linked - I haven't got it installed right now. Let me see if I can find it again.

I think it's this one: http://www.koogy.clara.co.uk/ilx/kilxor.user.js

We should come up with one that lets you killfile certain boards' thread from showing up in Site New Answers! I could read everything else and leave out ILM without having to click anything besides refresh!!

^ hi dere solution to nuking iltmi from new answers

I Want to Change the Boards Shown on Site New Answers...

Doh... I can't get this to work, I'm baffled. Greasemonkey and the script are installed and supposedly enabled, I put in the username in the var fules array (the ones in the parentheses, right, like

var fules = [/Jaq/]; 

Doesn't seem to work anymore. I had it installed, just not enabled. Enabled it and nothing.

the killfile code is very delicate in terms of document structure and every time keith adds something new it tends to break. will look into it and post a new version (and also try and make it less delicate)

The class was still 'name', but I didn't look any closer at it. Thanks koogs.

looks like the a tag is no longer {a whatever}name{/a} but {a whatever} name{/a}...

ok, killxor script updated. http://www.koogy.clara.co.uk/ilx/kilxor.user.js

check you have the right version (20090809) and you'll need to copy over your fules list

the extra space wasn't a problem for me as i was using non-anchored substrings but if anyone is using ^ in their fules then they may need to add a space. the problem was an extra level or two of divs in the messages. have now changed the code so it finds the name then moves outwards from the link until it finds the 'message' div. which should be more robust.

board script next...

arg, don't donwload just yet, that version still has debug in it.

ok, fixed

I can't imagine hating someone so much that I couldn't just skip over their posts. :-(

fwiw, I use it when I'm feeling especially tetchy and explosive and I notice certain styles are starting to set me off. It has nothing to do with hating anyone.

i can imagine it but it might make threads not make sense and i would miss important zings and opportunities to feel self-righteous

x-post - that makes more sense

miss important zings and opportunities to feel self-righteous

^^^ generally why I turn it off again. Also, it makes threads load slower at times.

site new answers update (and possibly a rename)
http://www.koogy.clara.net/ilx/sitenewanswerskillzor.user.js

yeah, both these have to compare all threads or messages against all your blacklisted items so they could drag on long threads if you hate lots of people.

(it would help if i hadn't used koogs as a test fule and i could actually see my own posts...)

;_; I don't get what I'm doing wrong. It's a one line change to make it work right? Other GM scripts work fine, so it's not that...

i think people using killfile should say who they are blocking

It works now. I just changed koogs to your nick and I got

Post by Nhex deleted

If I want to block svend and koogs, you just change the line to look like this, right?

var fules = [/svend/,/koogs/];

They can't see you, lol

Yeah that looks right. Make sure that you are using the one he made today. kilxor_20090809

Oh, okay, I think I was clicking the wrong script link (a-durrrr). Thanks so very much dudes, this will improve my ILX experience a ton.

there's a preference screen that does what the Board Blocker script (sitenewanswerskillzor.user.js) does. i'd use that instead.

this shit still works, fyi, u sb babies

what he said

yeah it is totally great.

who u got killfiled

*shh*

hey, does this work for opera?

it uses the firefox greasemonkey plugin for applying user javascript after the page has loaded. don't know whether opera uses that.

apparently so

http://my.opera.com/Contrid/blog/2007/02/11/how-to-greasemonkey-in-opera

there's no version of this for IE is there?

nope

grand am only attached to this festering piece of shit browser for another few weeks anyway.

whatever i did, i am sorry

pointedly ignoring you in the absence of any alternative tbfh

ah no i'm only askin for the craic y'kno yourself

its because im old isnt it

wait if YOU'RE old, that means I'M old

fuck that

crushing realisation by proxy- is it better or worse grandad?

lets just agree to the fact that ned is old and we are somewhat indeterminate in age

username fixed :(

well i don't want to upset ye. what with the tickers not being what they were and all

I think you meant to use this one

jjj are you aware of the 'local irish pub' in minneapolis btw

i mean, if you can remember it

meaning the one called "the local"? yeah i have actually made many terrible decisions there

oh shit dan a+ username btw

well tonight i learnt that they sell more jameson than anywhere else in the world and i salute them through you

22 bottles a day, in fact.

how does on install this?

one*

oh man, who you tryin to do dirty

it's me cos i dissed him in the sex drought thread ;_;

naw, i've really had enough geir for a lifetime, but i always used to use opera because i had a slower comp that firefox was kind of taxing on

omg you h8 melody

Just download Greasemonkey and install the script that koogs links to on this thread. It works like a charm.

geir my ass

oh yay it works

btw this works in Safari; installed NinjaKit extension & then this w/o problems

is it impossible to killfile a mod or something?

Um, no?

yah i just realised that wasnt the prob idk i can prolly live, it just isnt working for me on one subboard

have u guys ever tried to kilfile someone w/yr mind, just pretend they dont exist, dont respond, its kind of interesting - btw getting killfile hardcoded would be cool, should only take 5 mins

hey guys, i was just thinking you know what would be cool? to killfile someone with YOUR MIND, just erase whatever they say and pretend like they're not there

haha i did not think it was possible to make that joke w/o just not posting, kudos

buuuuuuuuump

was thinking it'd be cool if you could somehow killfile someone with your mind, would be p.cool I think. cd just erase wht they say and pretend they're not there

pretty sure there's a word for it. "ignoring", look it up!

lol cozen

thread could use some forks

xp dom I appreciate your joeks but seriously nagl in this thread

right then, I can't get this to work

- install the greasemonkey addon in firefox
- add the userscript in this post by koogs
- edit the script by replacing /fule1/ by the poster you wish to get rid of, e.g. /StanM/ and save the script
- make sure greasemonkey is enabled, refresh the page if necessary or close/restart firefox
- ?

hooray! it works!

man this thread always makes me so curious

.......no reply........

Can someone congratulate kingfish for me, please?

(rimshot)

Thanks

I'm not using it anymore, though, it's not ideal. I found myself disabling it to see what people were replying to all the time.

it's not as if you can't see that they posted, you just see theier name and then "post deleted", so it does kinda make you wanna know what they said even though you killfiled em.

It stopped working for me at some point, or worked intermittently (posts would get through) but eventually the poster(s) in question finally chilled the hell out and cut down their posting so I could through a day's posts without stupid instigations popping up

koogs is my hero, this is ace

It can be pretty annoying when lots of people are using their display names to reference somebody I've killfiled though...

that last can be handled by tightening up the pattern that you're matching against - just including the ()s should restrict it enough (although you may have to escape them with \ (maybe \\) beforehand as ( and ) are part of regexp syntax)

wouldn't be impossible to replace the deleted sections with a div that was just hidden rather than deleted and a link to unhide the text

Trying this for the first time now but I can't get it to work. Clicking "edit this user script" in options just doesn't do anything.

On a mac here. Could I manually open the .js file and edit in texteditor before I install it?

To answer my own question: yes, that works too. Great!

yeah, the 'edit this script' button just opens the editor you've defined (and i'm guessing the problem is that you haven't defined an editor and the default is missing)

itt no names no credibility

who updated this thread?

Koogs, that indeed was it (no defined editor, or wrongly defined, and can't seem to change that now), but I did it manually and it works like a charm, cheers!

Surprised StanM hasn't come in to ask the exact same question as Hungry's revive yet tbh

I think this just means everybody is going to go out of their way to mention ade to see if they are 'the one'

it's not as if you can't see that they posted, you just see theier name and then "post deleted", so it does kinda make you wanna know what they said even though you killfiled em.

People who use this, is that true? I don't want to go through the trouble of enabling this if that's the case. Please to confirm or deny this thank you in advance.

the 'post deleted' bit is true, the latter bit definitely not, otherwise why bother killfiling em

You mean the part about it making you want to know what they said? lol. It still seems weird to me that you'd see their usename and "post deleted" but good to know in any event. Ta!

the substitution replaces the text of what the person posted, not so much the entire post

this line is responsible for the message, just change it

div.innerHTML = "<div>Post by " + poster + " deleted<br /><hr/></div>";

to, perhaps,

div.innerHTML = "<div>Post deleted<br /><hr/></div>";

don't think you can remove all the evidence - even if you make the div empty the horizontal lines will still be there so you'll still know something is missing.

can one also change the text to "hen fap" if they so desired?

that will crash your browser

for maximum feelgood factor try changing it to

div.innerHTML = "<div>" + document.evaluate("//form[@class='formsection']/strong",document,null,XPathResult.UNORDERED_NODE_SNAPSHOT_TYPE,null).snapshotItem(0).firstChild.nodeValue.substr(14) + " otm<br /><hr/></div>";

The whole reason I'd killfile someone is because they appear too often on every single thread. Having "post deleted" appear in its place (1000 times) doesn't really solve my problem.

And yes, I'm talking about Ned Raggett.

ban ned raggett.

worst bit is when someone quotes the dipshit you're killfiling

> Having "post deleted" appear in its place (1000 times) doesn't really solve my problem.

you can change the div.innerHTML to anything you want.

I have no idea what that means, but having anything, even a "." appearing 1000 times would be annoying.

If I silence someone, I still don't want them standing around, pointing at their mute mouth like Darren would do when Samantha would cast a spell on him.

http://kaispace.files.wordpress.com/2010/10/invasion-of-the-body-snatchers-78.jpg

maybe put a bounty on them?

dude, they're not spilled coffee.

i was thinking more like running backs

Is there a killfile option for Chrome?

it uses greasemonkey so if greasemonkey is available for chrome then i'd say 'yes'. (and it is available, if the internet is to be believed)

chrome used to be able to load .user.js files, but now it gives me an error saying that they can only be installed from the Chrome Web Store

actually, just download the kilxor.user.js script, edit it, the go to chrome://extensions and drag it onto that screen

also here's a variation of the script to just silently kill the post instead of displaying notifications: https://gist.github.com/3556268

who r u all killfiling

the poster who somehow turns any thread they engage with into a meltdown: You.

but but... how did u read my post

can figure out the unicode escape code for ∞

cant*

∞KILL∞KILL∞KILL∞

> who r u all killfiling

me, apparently 8)

ha

I will accept guesses as to who I'm killfiling.

always assume me, then write that off as egotism, then write that off as complacency

HOW DID THIS THREAD GET REVIVED WITH NO NEW POSTS???? HAHA

ha nice i was straining attempting to make that joke i mean nothing who am i talking to nobody

if i killfilled i would def name names that's like the only time in life you can pull off being like "not listening to u" someone gracefully, aside from like smiling contentedly while rolling up a tinted window or something

somebody wanna hold my hand with his to show me how to make it work? Darr?

cant believe youre gonna killfile lagßn

start with the lowest hanging fruit i always say

i tried killfile
for a while
but it doesn't really help so much as make conversations really weird

weird this thread just got bumped but i dont see any new posts

grady, that joke literally gets made every time the thread gets bumped

Just followed the instructions forks, doesnt work on my phone tho but its ok now

"i can't see anybody posting" jokes never get old

b) who gives a fuck

Having problems getting this to work w/Chrome - does the location of the js file matter?

as far as i can tell the only thing it needs is a ".user.js" at the end of the filename then you can drag it into chrome://extensions screen

Just a post of thanks to those who developed and enabled the killfile script.

cryptic

as with my TV antenna, gave up trying to get it to work

i wonder if morbs uses it

doesn't work w/ zing

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dLIPTOUH51I&feature=kp

that's a good joek, s1ocki! "One in a row!"

Tears of gratitude to those who sacrificed to make this possible

i am kinda with morbs sadly

so this doesn't work with chrome anymore because it's not straight out of the special Google Chrome Store?

i'm using the 20090809 script w/greasemonkey + firefox, still works fine

All of youse have killfiled ppl?

i don't leave it on all the time, but there are certain troublemakers that for some reason just keep coming back and stinkin' up every thread they touch

Sorry Nhex :(

haha, i don't deserve an apology!

this abt how much cooler this thread wld be if people said who they were killfiling

killfile 3.0

weird this thread just got bumped but i dont see any new posts

> so this doesn't work with chrome anymore because it's not straight out of the special Google Chrome Store?

hard to find info on this, lots of old pages in search results, but you used to be able to bypass the warning by copying the file yourself into the correct place.

weird this thread just got bumped but i dont see any new posts

I tried to save to the desktop and then drag it into the browser, but still no go.

Now, that's not the same as "bypass the warning by copying the file yourself into the correct place," but I still can't code on my own.

I just wanted to see what it looked like.

Also, how many people have installed the killfile and now can't read any koogs posts since his name was used as the dummy?

go to the url "chrome://extensions" and drag it there

Im assuming lagoon has clowned the 'weird this thread just......' multiple posts by now, right

why does this thread have no posts at all, nor the rest of this message board

what is a post where am i who am i

yeah, follow diamond dave's instructions for chrome (which i'll repeat so it's all in one post)

download file from here:
http://www.koogy.clara.co.uk/ilx/kilxor.user.js (version kilxor_20090809)
save the source as a file (with same name)

in chrome navigate to chrome://extensions
drag file onto page

i hope the list of everyone's killfiles gets leaked one day

who will be ilx's julian assange

ILX System goes cybernet

ah, that works. now i just have to unkillfile you koogs

thanks koogs, d.d.

how many times do you paste the name in?

Doesn't this just draw attention to the posters you want to ignore as they continue to figure into threads as conspicuous absences?

just once. but you can have more than one name in there.

http://i2.cdn.turner.com/cnn/dam/assets/120903022046-avlon-eastwood-empty-chair-story-top.jpg

you don't have to replace the div with text, you can delete it without comment, unfortunately the line above the post isn't part of the post so you'll still see that and know something is missing. plus any references / quoting of the blocked posts won't be blocked, obv.

Doesn't this just draw attention to the posters you want to ignore as they continue to figure into threads as conspicuous absences?

^

killfiles rob u of the joy of hate-reading tho

it weakens your immune system

Yeah, it's pretty annoying:

"(post by someone you've killfiled deleted)"

OTM! Best post ever!
-- someone else you haven't killfiled

Hahaha!
-- other poster who's always OTM about everything

who actually enjoys hate reading ILX anyway?

yeah. killfile discounts the underdog. xpost.

poor babies, oppressed by posts you don't have to read

i find it very hard to read ilx w/out getting some mileage out of hate-reading.

here's my modification to quietly remove killed posts without notification: https://gist.github.com/bsdf/3556268

If you hate reading, why are you on ILX? Go watch some TV! Hahahahahaha

Ok, Got this thing working.

I used to be on the side of filtering ILX made you a wuss, but Facebook has spoiled me in its blocking feature. We'll see how it goes.

who are u gonna black

Yeah it only makes you a wuss if you don't tell anyone who you're gonna block

Well, ok.

My Aunt Margaret won't quit with the right-wing bitstrips, so I had to block her. But please don't say anything because it'd make things really awkward at my cousin's wedding this summer.

Hello?

chrome's killing my killfile extension because it's not in their fucking web store. anyone know any workarounds short of switching to firefox or safari?

^yeah, either of those should work

you can get killfile to work for safari? i've never been able...

i use ninjakit w safari on my laptop. found it in the chrome web store, just installed it, c+p'ed the extension in and it works.

https://github.com/os0x/NinjaKit

tralalalala

weird this thread just got bumped but i dont see any new posts

thx matt

can we get a killfile that just bans that person

All You Need Is Killfile

can we get a banfile that just kills that person

no, you still need to go the old-fashioned way and hire a hitman

there's an app for that

aaaah, here's that thread again

@grant needs to be declared, says GreaseMonkey?

ah, it works anyway. good.

it appears that there needs to be an explicit "@grant none" line in the header now. feel free to add it. mine works without warnings (firefox)

thx!

It doesn't seem to be hiding the posts on the satellite boards, only ILE and ILM -- anyone else experiencing that?

I don't, no? It blocks posts on all other boards I'm on (maybe 77 is different, wouldn't know about that one)

I did have to add the last line here though:

// @include http://ilx.wh3rd.net/*
// @include http://ilx.p3r.net/*
// @include http://www.ilxor.com/*
// @include http://ilxor.com/*

Is there a way to get killfile to work on ilx zing?

can someone explain to this computer-semi-literate person how to (easily?) killfile folks. i use safari on a mac, and chrome on a PC. command-line stuff is greek to me.

link in OP is broken btw

weird, this thread just got bumped but there's no new posts

lol

Moving bookmark

never gets old

itt post your killfile

Link is broken? Which link?

post by gr8080 deleted

gr8080 OTM

j/k btw, you're the only poster I don't have killfiled

http://www.koogy.clara.co.uk/ilx/kilxor.user.js

should still work, but i have no idea about safari or macintosh or chrome or whatever.

i have added the non-www address for those losers.

on safari on mac:
1) install NinjaKit: https://github.com/os0x/NinjaKit#ninjakit

2) click on the link koogs posted

3) edit the file that opens to add the names you want to killfile, and save it

NinjaKit will put an icon in Safari's bar that you can click to reopen NinjaKit later: once there you click on Scripts at the top to find the killfile script. then you can change names when people change usernames etc.

for Chrome I used http://tampermonkey.net

any way to killfile on firefox on a PC? i don't have admin privileges on this machine, so it might not work.

actually if there was some of way of just preventing me from looking at this site in general, that would be better. i've tried (by adding the ilxor.com domain to banned hosts in my router) but it doesn't seem to stick.

install adblock and adblock the entire domain would be the easiest way. or map ilxor.com etc to 127.0.0.1 in your hosts file (does windows 7+ still have a hosts file?)

(killfile was written for firefox on a pc fwiw, requires greasemonkey and is a bit fiddly)

can't edit hosts file or really anything else on work computer. i guess i'll have to rely on ol' friend self-control.

p.s. thank you for the ideas!

maybe i could write a script that would convert all of dr. morbius's posts to this

http://www.film.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/15116774-15116777-large.jpg

every time u attempt to navigate to ilxor.com hit yr hand with a hammer

or i could just make a fist with my toes, or make toes with my fist

With a few tweaks, koogs's script could very well die hard.

I spent abou5 15 minutes trying to get a URI embed to work, failed miserably

killfile is for pussies, it's ridiculous to even contemplate

lol amateurist will quit this board when i do

i tried this but the "post by ___ deleted" posts were just too tantalizing.

morbs otm

yep

get over yourself

ok. bye!

I spent abou5 15 minutes trying to get a URI embed to work, failed miserably

Don't need anything fancy! Just a regular img tag, so instead of:

div.innerHTML = "<div>Post by " + poster + " deleted<br /><hr/></div>";

you have:

div.innerHTML = "<img src='http://www.film.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/15116774-15116777-large.jpg' />"

Oops, add a closing div tag to that.

lol and an opening one.

i know that works but embedding the external image seems like bad karma. was hoping to get the base64 encode working

Oh! Can you explain? Is it a security issue?

Not security, just bandwidth leeching of that site (film.com in this case). But I suppose I could just reupload it to one of those image hosts which would be fair game ala:

div.innerHTML = "<div><img src='http://i59.tinypic.com/2d14gfc.jpg' />Post by " + poster + " deleted<br /><hr/></div>"

B-but browser caching will probably mean it doesn't get fetched more than once a session. Less probably.

it's still bad form, not even considering heavy message board use [x sessions x users x browers x refreshes...] granted, film.com looks like they can afford it, but it's a bad habit

Guys did we ever get this sorted

does this thing work or not?

Tahts what I said

But please don't write to me, I don't have time for your stupid whataboutery.

frederik use this instead of making things up about me defending trump voters and taking the side of woody allen against his accusers. thank you.

This does still work, btw. You just need to change instances of http to https, like so: https://pastebin.com/Sa5p5cs7

What browser though?

I've been trying it to use it on Chrome with Tampermonkey, and no dice.

still works great on safari on os x, thank goodness

a killfile of solace shirley

Works fine on Firefox with Greasemonkey. Honestly should have done this years ago! It's not like the opinions of human carcinogens are any less boring than their zings.

how can i killfile the entire internet tbph

set yr iphone's date to 1/1/1970

apparently Dan I has been on this board longer than me, and yet made no impression. Funny, that.

ppl who use Killfile don't get the flow on certain threads bcz they don't see some posts? but it's all worth it cuz their pansy-ass eyes don't have to deal with those they dislike.

(millennials in a nutshell)

Octopost Killfiler

Here's a version that removes all traces of posters who you've kill-filed, just sends 'em straight to the cornfield and you don't even have to look at their name: https://pastebin.com/YhUAe6Td

where's the version that actually sends armed mercenaries to posters houses

:-(

Fuck the NRA

That was random

Works on Chrome with Tampermonkey for me

Is there a "run" button or something I'm missing on TM?

who u guys killfililng?

Honestly, I'm a very, very novice coder who's just trying to see what works.

Since my playstation died, I can't dupe Adders in GTA anymore.

There's an "enabled" button which needs to be turned on. When it's working you get a little red "1" overlaid on the tampermonkey symbol to the right of the address bar

I'm killfiling a bunch of people on the trump threads because their jokes suck and in some cases the posters seem deranged

otm

"in some cases"

It would be great to modify this so that the "Bookmark" link for blocked posters stays while all the rest of the post is blanked as per usual, would work better with bookmarked posts. I've been idly trying to do this myself but it's a bit beyond me.

i've put a slightly modified version up on github:

https://github.com/acdean/killzor/blob/master/killfile

contains the https changes (thanks Dan) and now has a simple binary flag to switch between 'post by "name" deleted' and just nuking the message completely.

will think about the bookmark thing. it's a good idea but might not be easy.

scratch that. the names are all wrong... give me 10 minutes.

ok, use this one...

https://github.com/acdean/kilxor

i'll write some instructions...

The nuke completely option still leaves a horizontal line btw, not sure if this was deliberate or not

oh, i didn't test it. 8)

the other option gives the name of the poster and people didn't like that, hence the new option. it might be possible to get rid of the line as well (but other people also want the bookmarks restored, which is the exact opposite).

what about instead of making the blocked posters post disappear it made it bigger just an idea

horizontal line is actually a dotted border of the now-empty div. i can make the entire div invisible, but there's an [a] label and a couple of margins involved as well so not easy...

ok, trailing line deleted.

https://github.com/acdean/kilxor/blob/master/kilxor.user.js

if you hit the 'Raw' button, and you're lucky, it recognises it as a greasemonkey script and asks if you want to install it...

will have to think about the bookmark thing.

Nice, thank you! For the record, this also works on Mac Safari, using NinjaKit.

UPDATE: Eater sent me a pull request. Now the Bookmark link remains visible when post body is removed, so you can remove the bookmark from your unread list. (but not currently in nuke mode)

thanks Eater.

nuke mode is the best, thanks again

(the same thing in nuke mode is easy enough but looks a bit odd, a post with only a bookmark tag in it, and a trailing line. Needs a bit of thought)

i apologize if this has been discussed previously in this thread, but is there a way to know if you've been killfiled? not specifically the person who did it but just the number of users who have killfiled you, if any?

unrelated, this is a great thread title, appreciate the occasion to be here

Thread was bumped

No new posts

Mods???

lol

nobody has killfiled u km

that lol was most certainly an xp

it had to be done

thanks darraghmac!

thats not uh an official assurance but id put a good...imma say 7 euro on it

i fucking trusted you, man

Weird

It happened again

killfile code runs IN THE BROWSER of the person doing the killfiling. = there's no way of telling.

ah, i see. i guess i just figured that in the same way that website analytics capture so much other browser metadata from visitors (OS, device-type, etc) it might also able to capture who is running the killfile code

i trust me to i trust me about 7 euro i dont ask you trust me more than that and i certainly dont recommend it

I would wager no one has ever blocked you, KM. Would not wager that about myself, darragh, or infinity

Luv u babe

one thing about dmac is that you always find yourself mailing him 7 euros, but it's the cost of doing business

i found this one weird trick to tell you how many people have you killfiled: type your facebook password into the textbox, click "Convert Simple HTML to BBcode" button. go into the bathroom and turn off all the lights and say "BAN l0u1s jagg3r" into the mirror 77 times. return to your workstation and click "Submit Post". within 24 hours you'll have your answer

I Tried This One Weird Trick That Did Not Work, And Here's Why

Everyone here takes way too many risks when it comes to opening portals to the netherworld.

If I had to bet on which ILXor is the least likely to have been killfiled, I'd put my money on the Mailman.

Where do I send my moneys, deems

I wonder how many people would killfile darraghmac if he added a subtle link to a patreon account at the bottom of each post

how do you killfile

― gbx, Wednesday, September 12, 2018 6:12 PM (one week ago) Bookmark Flag Post Permalink

some firefox-specific help:

install greasemonkey for your browser

save the file from here: https://github.com/acdean/kilxor

change line 17 to include the people you want to exclude

then open it in your browser and it should prompt you to add it as a user script

i'll add this to a readme, sometime.

how do you separate multiple usernames in line 17 again?

there are two in the example for just this reason 8)

var fules = [/noob/, /luser_name_here/];

comma separated, patterns surrounded by slashes...

(and those are regexp patterns, so if youre feeling brave then things like /k..gs/ should match 'koogs' etc)

How can I find out who killfiled me and get back at them? Didn’t see it in the FAQ

urgent and key

loving this new version, ty

happy for you

if only they could fix this bookmark glitch

Hello?

Weird

there’s still no way of hiding a single user on a specific thread, is there

the urls at the top don't have to be site-specific, they could be thread-specific...

hmm! wld have to install a new one every month, but...

(there’s still no killfile on zing, right?)

you can block a poster but not thread specific

Trying to get this to work on Tampermonkey and Pastebin to no avail.

var fules = [/Morb/,/some_losers_username_here/];

Other than the second half with the person you want to block, do you need to change anything else? Don't really know what I'm doing lol

> Other than the second half with the person you want to block, do you need to change anything else?

that should be enough

> Tampermonkey

this is untested though

I have not yet gotten it to work with tampermonkey :(

i have just gotten it working with tampermonkey

install tampermonkey, then go here: https://github.com/acdean/kilxor/blob/master/kilxor.user.js

click on "Raw" and it might, if you're lucky, open in a tampermonkey user script editor, change the 'fules' on line 17, ignore the warnings and errors, file, save, profit.

^ that was macos chrome, v70.0.3538.102

and i can still see my blobs.

we all can mate, put them away

Finally got him zapped to fuck. Thanks.

brilliant koogs, you were right that it now works with tampermonkey

Weird that this thread is updated without a new post!1!

;)

currently killfiling w/ tampermonkey and cannot recommend it highly enough :)

a modest proposal: everyone should killfile their 5 least fave posters. it would make ILX at least 50% more readable

would reduce that to two or three but it would likely save a lot of out of control arguments

5? I'm up to 15!

I hear a lot of talk about “billie eilish” and not enough talk about “killie filish”

Weird this thread just got bumped but I don’t see anything

lol

Never killfiled anyone, I want my ILX to be a steak tartare.

Who said that?

I enjoy a nice fp too much to ever killfile anyone

There were two posters who genuinely annoyed me when I first came on here, now they are two of my favourites (though one has since left)

Is there a way to killfile a thread instead of a poster?

I wish

Who said that?

?

Oh, it's Euler! Sorry, I didn't have my readers on.

I must confess that I've never understood the purpose of killfiling. I can't be the only one who possesses the ability to not read a thing I don't care to read.

Unless I am the only one...whoa.

some of us can't resist the impulse to read bullshit and get mad at it!

Jelly, OL.

some of us have reached a point where seeing certain people's dns and accompanying bullshit over the course of a decade plus have conditioned us to see red when those posters say or do anything, so better for our health and the health of the board that we leave it be.

also, some posters (and oddly, often the same ones that offend!) tend to clog up whole threads (or boards!) with their nonstop blithering, so it's nice to have the option to enjoy the thread/board minus their influence.

though more power to you if you have a killfile... in your MIND

Finally crossed over from Killfile of the Mind to Killfile of the Greasemonkey, and the absolute best thing about it, is if you have even minimal programming skills, you can script it so that your poxy FULES are actually repeating very amusing jokes instead of their usual blethering, which has increased my enjoyment of ILX substantially.

Highly reccommend. *PLEASE* killfile me.

> Is there a way to killfile a thread instead of a poster?

wouldn't be too hard (in fact i vaguely remember doing this already). threads can appear in many places though, blocking them everywhere might be a pain. and you'd have to enter the threadid somewhere, which is a bit oblique.

IIRC the old script was easily edited to do this because I did it

of course, I then stopped using it and then switch computers about a billion times so I don't remember what I did

can be edited to replace the poster's post with ai-generated text seeded by the thread title

how do you killfile yourself

Write a post designed to reap 50 FPs.

You can killfile yourself - that's how I test it.

don't understand the why of killfile

I can understand being annoyed by others’ posts, but pretty much everyone here is posting in earnest and it’s just a message board

Yep, pretty much everybody!

Pretty much. Killfile is for the 1%.

if you want to make a name for yourself as a poster, killfile EVERYONE. then just go into threads with appealing that interest you and speak your mind.

no context. no discursive triangulation. just posting. pure posting.

lol

the becky lucas strategem

Pretty much. Killfile is for the 1%.

sounds pretty "let them eat posts" out of context

this message board is dying and we should welcome all new voices

I gave up on killfile and do my best to practice it mentally these days

wait I still have "Nerdstrom Poindexter" killfiled I believe

new snatk script - site new answers thread killer

unfortunately, threads are numbered per-board, so you need to supply the boardid as well as the threadid. i also had to take care of the 'updated' threads, which have an extra css attribute. but generally the structure of a thread link is easier than a post so code is shorter.

it *might* work in places other than Site New Answers. let's see...

yes. also works in 'new answers' (ie board view) - go to HTML Playground to test.

kilxor

kills threads

DEAD

(added readme / install instructions)

thanks, this works well!

how do I killfile someone with a forward-slash in their username? it screws up the coding, is there a code sequence I can encase that slash in?

I know you can killfile either display name (the one in parentheses or the one not) so maybe just killfile their other name?

yep, thanks

well that narrows down the possibilities

oops I don’t know what I did, but always happy to get killfiled again

Why does this thread keep getting bumped? I don’t see any messages.

not you jon

Geir/Hongro

you, on the other hand, need to post a lot fucking less

ok

i'll go back to my uber amazing life, later ILX

so handy to have Zing to do the bookmarks here for when you need to move past posters who (literally) shit up the entire board and make it unreadable b/c they confuse ILX with their therapist or a blog

fuck off and die.

god it is so nice to not have to read what you post, I swore Killfile off for a while but some of y'all have been seriously fucking unbearable lately

they confuse ILX with their therapist or a blog

This is a shitty thing to say, and you know it.

Truly execrable—

Is he doing advertising?

has anyone encountered any negative side effects from using Greasemonkey? I'm considering setting up my first (and hopefully only) killfile but I'm not sure if it's worth it

It's always worked great for me

it'll only run scripts that you install and then only on URLs you define within the script.

Any chance this works on eg duckduckgo on an android and while im asking the universe for a favour was there ever one configured to killfile posters in specific threads

^ this is probably a bit niche, in fact this is the first i've heard of it.

but if it supports user javascript then there's a chance it might work.

i'm looking at gihub now to see if i can find details. nope...

> in specific threads

this is probably do-able by modifying the list of urls at the top of the script

// @include        KILLFILE 2.0

but you'd probably need a different script for per-thread and per-site blocking, and the most restrictive would apply (ie you couldn't allow someone on a thread if you'd blocked them on the site, but that sounds like the opposite of what you want)

^ um, that unhelpfully converted the url for this thread that i used as an example into a link despite it being in code tags 8(

Thanks for looking, I'll check this out

Alternatively you can recruit 19 like-minded friends

Not a fan of campaigning id rather say it to em three or four times then bump killfile/fp moderation threads and after that if i just start swearing at em in all caps randomly twasnt out of nowhere, dyou get me

that's a one hot post every ten year average

this “block poster” thing on zing is tite, makes these fools’ posts look like they keep walking into walls or something

I'm ready to killfile my first user after being here for a couple decades now.

how does one go about that for the ilx website?

use greasemonkey on firefox or some other thing if you're using chrome...

and use this script, modifying the 'fules' line with the names you (don't) want
http://www.koogy.clara.co.uk/ilx/kilxor.user.js

well this is awkward ...

jk thank you

i'm embarrassed that i can't get this working. it's my second time in two months, and i just want to get it to work. i'm using chrome (like a fool who is always wrong), so i installed the tampermonkey extension. i installed the script from koogs' post just above, and on line 19, i added the username, hit save, hit refresh on everything, etc. it's just not working.

if i was killfiling myself, it would look like this:

var fules = [/karl malone/,/fule2/];

(note, please, fucking god, for the people who hate me, copy and paste this and use it)

i don't think there's anything else i need to do, right? it applies to all of ilx, not a specific thread.

i realize this is tampermonkey specific, but i open up the chrome Extensions menu for it, it looks like this when i'm on ilx:

https://i.imgur.com/OKJKtHE.png

enabled, but also "no script running". is that what's causing the problem?

here's the dashboard view:

https://i.imgur.com/b8BOVUY.png

sorry for this complete waste of your time

I think you need to enclose the name of each of the users in quotes. Otherwise I think JS will think those are variable references to other objects, you want strings here:

// instead of this below
var fules = [/karl malone/,/fule2/];
// do it like this
var fules = ["/karl malone/","/fule2/"];

i'm embarrassed that i can't get this working. it's my second time in two months

KARLFILE 2.0

i haven't checked this, because it's 5am here, but my initial thoughts are that quotes are unnecessary (the example works without quotes) but capital letters are - Karl doesn't match karl.

additionally, that looks like an old version of the script, the current one (2018) is here (i think the link on boards page is old and this thread is tl;dr)

https://github.com/acdean/kilxor/blob/master/kilxor.user.js

the images suggest a different problem, perhaps (uri not listed?), but try this first

fpsa, koogs - so sorry to have missed your replies! i got it working, thanks! koogs, your suggestion to try the current version seems to have worked. i'm not sure how i ended up on the outdated one before, but with the new script it immediately started working.

thanks!

is there a way to block posts containing specific words, rather than users? (for example "NY Times Pitchbot")

it's possible, i guess, but more complicated because i'd have to check against multiple {p}s of the body (each paragraph is a different {p} within {div class="message"}) and not just the single-field, fixed-position user name. and if it's in a link it's different again.

i will see.

(i use braces to avoid the less than / greater than problems you'd get with html and got bbcode errors instead...)
