From the sandbox thread: KILLFILE: HOW TO

This doesn't seem to be working for http://www.ilxor.com:8080/ILX/. Does it have anything to do with how usernames are set up?

Somebody was bound to ask, so here it is.

tom is working on a new one

― chaki, Thursday, 22 February 2007 22:51 (nineteen years ago)

Then I will wait patiently. Thanks magic box smarties, one and all.

― Fluffy Bear, Thursday, 22 February 2007 22:54 (nineteen years ago)

pft I suck at this btw. the webmail link in between the div class and the actual username is killing me right now. If I can figure that out it should work

― TOMBOT, Wednesday, 28 February 2007 17:17 (nineteen years ago)

Thanks! One slight issue - is it just me or does this leave absolutely no evidence of excision, not even a line?

― toby, Wednesday, 28 February 2007 18:14 (nineteen years ago)

yeah none whatsoever. I am thinking about working on it. I honestly haven't put anybody in my own script yet.

― TOMBOT, Wednesday, 28 February 2007 18:17 (nineteen years ago)

i think i prefer there to be no evidence at all. as long as there's a choice of either/or then cool. i haven't tried this on nu-ilx yet tho. cheers to ever-useful koogs (A&J + other bits on their way to you as soon as the DVD-Rs i ordered arrive btw).

― blueski, Wednesday, 28 February 2007 18:19 (nineteen years ago)

i did try stealing a bit of andrew's code for inserting a message but gave up after 5 minutes of not getting it to work.

yes, no lines because now the lines are inside the messages rather than between them.

(cheers stevem)

― koogs, Wednesday, 28 February 2007 19:10 (nineteen years ago)

I am closing in on replacing killed posts with text/hr. But it will probably take me until tonight to finish at the rate I'm going.

― Jaq, Wednesday, 28 February 2007 19:43 (nineteen years ago)

ok, replace the code in the last for loop with

var thisLink = posts.snapshotItem(i);
div = thisLink.parentNode;
div.innerHTML = "<div>Post by " + jerk + " deleted<br /><hr/></div>";

and that should do it.

― koogs, Wednesday, 28 February 2007 19:44 (nineteen years ago)

xpost. sorry Jaq. 8)

― koogs, Wednesday, 28 February 2007 19:45 (nineteen years ago)

Oh excellent koogs, that rox - you saved me hours of poking at stuff :) I was only getting the names to replace instead of the whole post.

― Jaq, Wednesday, 28 February 2007 20:06 (nineteen years ago)

Hahaha! Oh, that works a treat :)

I changed the text to be div.innerHTML = "<div>Inanity by the poxy fule" + jerk + " deleted for all time.<br /><hr/></div>";

― Jaq, Wednesday, 28 February 2007 20:10 (nineteen years ago)

I'm going to make mine the boxcar no no no speech bubble I think

― TOMBOT, Wednesday, 28 February 2007 20:21 (nineteen years ago)

anyway koogs I got you a plaque

― TOMBOT, Wednesday, 28 February 2007 20:35 (nineteen years ago)

Awesome, Koogs! I love it.

― toby, Wednesday, 28 February 2007 21:02 (nineteen years ago)

I'm going to make mine the boxcar no no no speech bubble I think

A fantastic idea. I have been too lazy to set up the new killfile so far though.

― Nicole, Wednesday, 28 February 2007 22:23 (nineteen years ago)

i had some trouble earlier today because i had 8080 in the url and that's changed.

anyway, place this snippet before the for loop for a nice little reminder in top right that some messages were blocked

if (posts.snapshotLength != 0) {
var logo = document.createElement("div");
logo.innerHTML = '<div style="position:fixed; top:0; right:0; left=auto; z-index:10; background-color:red; color:white; font-size:10pt; font-weight:bold;">Some Posts Were Blocked</div>';
document.body.insertBefore(logo, document.body.firstChild);
}

(jaq, got email, thanks. most of credit goes to will for the original, i only fixed it for ilx2 (my first greasemonkey script as it happens))

― koogs, Saturday, 3 March 2007 15:01 (nineteen years ago)

I'm dying to know who is killing whom. I challenge you to create a little PacManesque critter that gobbles up the posts of those you deem killable.

― Maria :D, Saturday, 3 March 2007 15:09 (nineteen years ago)

another one, this one makes the Skipping x messages a lot bigger and redder:

// ==UserScript==
// @name Skipping
// @namespace
// @description A Bigger Skipping Message
// @include http://www.ilxor.com/*
// ==/UserScript==

skipping = document.evaluate("//div/form/p[starts-with(a, 'Skipping ')]",
document,
null,
XPathResult.UNORDERED_NODE_SNAPSHOT_TYPE,
null);

// get paragraph, set colours
p = skipping.snapshotItem(0)
p.style.textAlign = 'center';
p.style.backgroundColor = 'red';
p.style.fontWeight = 'bolder';
p.style.fontStyle = 'normal';
p.style.fontSize = '15px';

― koogs, Saturday, 3 March 2007 16:17 (nineteen years ago)

Thanks, Tom. Thanks Koogs!

"<div>BLAH BLAH BLAH " + jerk + " I CAN'T HEAR YOU<br /><hr/></div>";

― Fluffy Bear, Saturday, 3 March 2007 17:12 (nineteen years ago)

most of credit goes to will for the original

cheers koogs, I still owe you a pint. And Will, you too wherever you are. I worked out how to convert the img src links to a href, but then realized if I open a thread with ton of pics it's still pulling them down so takes forever to load etc. A worthwhile exercise, I guess, but pointless.

― Jaq, Saturday, 3 March 2007 17:26 (nineteen years ago)

(oddly those last two changes don't work together - the first creates a div that seems to break the xpath in the second. maybe if i add the div at the end...)

yes, next thing was going to be modifying the 'Skipping...' message link to point to the exact message within the expanded page, save people having to find it again. unfortunately that needed some server code changes but, apparently, they were done before i even mentioned it. that keith may look dozy but he's actually quite on the ball. 8)

― koogs, Sunday, 4 March 2007 10:26 (nineteen years ago)

Potential killfile quirk alert - I don't seem to be able to block anyone whose username contains non-ANSI characters.

― J, Friday, 16 March 2007 15:55 (nineteen years ago)

i did wonder, only yesterday, if that would cause problems. i guess the problem is getting the characters into the javascript.

possible way around this is to turn the test into a 'starts-with' or a 'contains' so you can find parts of words without having to match the entire thing, for instance, and this is only an example, first thing that popped into my head, don't know why, 'ppppp dude'.

(of course, making it a substring makes it hard to then block anyone called, i don't know, 'J' 8)

― koogs, Friday, 16 March 2007 16:15 (nineteen years ago)

Now who would want to block lil' ol' me?

(Actually, I think TOMBOT has me blocked!)

― J, Friday, 16 March 2007 16:21 (nineteen years ago)

I have the name you used to spam rotten.com stuff when you were mad about the existence of a bummerz thread blocked on my work computer!

― jessie monster, Friday, 16 March 2007 16:26 (nineteen years ago)

now that you keep registering new names I kind of feel like I am being challenged to block them all! like a fun game.

― jessie monster, Friday, 16 March 2007 16:28 (nineteen years ago)

That wasn't me! I have no idea how to do any of that stuff! I'm J McChump, and I've been posting here for years!

was thinking of redoing this just last night. gimme a couple of hours...

in the meantime you need firefox and its greasemonkey extension thing...

― koogs, Tuesday, 17 April 2007 08:20 (nineteen years ago)

ok, new version:

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

this now uses regular expressions so you can match against just a bit of the username - change the values on line 15.

― koogs, Tuesday, 17 April 2007 09:52 (nineteen years ago)

awesome!!!!!!!!!! thank you thank you thank you

― strgn, Tuesday, 17 April 2007 22:14 (nineteen years ago)

if you killfile someone, do you killfile the titles of threads they start in addition to posts they make or only their posts?

― gabbneb, Tuesday, 15 May 2007 14:58 (nineteen years ago)

only their posts (inc the opening post of a thread they start)

― blueski, Tuesday, 15 May 2007 15:01 (nineteen years ago)

[xpost] Only their posts. The script could be changed to kill the thread titles too, I think.

― koogs, Monday, 21 May 2007 14:30 (nineteen years ago)

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

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

― pandmac (darraghmac), Tuesday, 28 December 2021 17:40 (four years ago)

^ 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...

― koogs, Wednesday, 29 December 2021 13:21 (four years ago)

> 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)

― koogs, Wednesday, 29 December 2021 13:28 (four years ago)

^ 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(

how does one go about that for the ilx website?

― death generator (lukas), Friday, 9 December 2022 21:42 (three years ago)

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

one month passes...

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?

sorry for this complete waste of your time

― Karl Malone, Wednesday, 11 January 2023 23:35 (three years ago)

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 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.

― koogs, Thursday, 12 January 2023 05:05 (three years ago)

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)

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")

― c u (crüt), Sunday, 14 December 2025 16:37 (five months ago)

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.

you might need to hit 'raw'. it should then be recognised as a greasemonkey script and prompt for installation

then in greasemonkey you can edit the script to change line 17 to exclude the relevant uses
