Anyone know if there's a firefox or chrome plugin that just makes posts from certain users just not appear on the rendered web page in the first place?
Or if this would be relatively simple thing to do with Greasemonkey?

Name and shame 😉

I think DD wants to ignore Ian and Ian wants to ignore everyone except Fred

I actually want to ignore myself because I'm a right pain in the arse.

Why hasn't anyone replied?
With one exception, I think pretty much everyone on STW is lovely, even the people I can't stand 🙂
Looks like I might have to try out grease monkey to enact the final solution.

Ladies and Gentlemen, I hereby present...

[b][url= http://userscripts.org/scripts/source/92336.user.js ]The STW Personal Blacklister script![/url][/b]

If you are using the latest version of Chrome, click on the link and install the script. If you refresh this page, you'll have a few extra options on the thread summary at the top:

Click on "Filtered Authors" to set up your blacklist.
Click on "Posts Replaced" to toggle between hiding blacklisted posts or replacing their post with something more pleasing to you.

I don't think I've broken any rules by doing this, but if I have, I'll take it down again.

I think it works in Firefox too, though I haven't tested it...

Obviously I'm not responsible if this breaks anything, blah blah. Any bugs or requests, post here and I'll do what I can.

[s]Apologies to Ro, Fred, TJ....[/s] 😈

Don't worry DD, you were merely a test subject 😉

Might have to move over to Chrome from Safari full time now.....

Cheers all - didn't expect it to be downloaded so much, the code is a bit shonky...probably would have spent more time on it if I'd known!

I'll try and do another update in the next few days, so that it does the same thing on the main forum pages, and is a bit tidier and faster to download.

Am going for my first night ride tonight, so updates are dependant on me surviving...

p.s. Forgot to say, I did a quick update so that you can click on the replacement text to view the originally post. If it doesn't do that for you then click on the link again to reinstall it.

this is a curious form of mental laziness: "I want to be spared the effort of not reading something" - discounting the fact that even annoying people can say useful or entertaining things, or even that change is possible...

Don't worry Simon you're not on my list.
I'm sure there's occasionally entertaining and profound stuff in the Daily Mail, but it's rarity makes not having it delivered through my letter box in the first place a sensibly pragmatic decision for me. I'm glad you're still holding on to hope though 🙂

I'd place a wager that killfile users cant keep it up for long. Someone on their kill-list will post something controversial, there'll be a good ol'fashioned STW lynchin', and there's no way they can supress their curiousity to see what kicked it all off. Gruesome interest, like watching a car crash 🙂

We could of course be using [& advertising that we use] a killfile purely to get them to say something controversial 😀

and I'm sure I couldn't care less if those dimwitted enough to require software support to protect their eyes from unwanted posters don't read me :o)

I'm sure there's occasionally entertaining and profound stuff in the Daily Mail, but it's rarity makes not having it delivered through my letter box in the first place a sensibly pragmatic decision for me. I'm glad you're still holding on to hope though

but I see a difference between choosing not to read the Daily Mail and trying to expunge every reference to it...

The killfile's a good idea for those 1 or 2 drivel merchants on here who appear to have no interest, knowledge or passion for cycling.

I've got nothing against drivel merchants, as long as they post about bikes once in a blue moon. Show some common ground - know what I mean? If we can all go mountain biking at the end of the day then everything's fine - post what you want.

People complain about classified-only posters not contributing to the forums - there should be similar opprobium for those who squat in the chat forum dispensing non-stop cabbagery. Post something about cycling ye bell ends.

toys19, I'm not sure if there are any additional steps because you are running Linux, but for for Firefox, you need to install the greasemonkey plugin first.

You can find that here:

Here's one way to update it:
1) Download the script, save it to your desktop
2) Open it with notepad or some other plain text editor
3) Add the following line, after line 4 (which looks similar)
// @include http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/*
4) Save it
5) Drag it into your Firefox window
6) Do any other necessary stuff
