    "killfile" script for blocking forum users.

    I've written a script allowing you to hide the posts by certain users on this forum.

    It requires the "tampermonkey" or "scriptmonkey" plugin.

    Unfortunately, my monitor for my computer I was doing the final testing on went pop last week, so it will be a few days longer before I can post it, but I'll keep this thread updated.

    Here you go. Feedback requested please!

    I'm no JavaScript programmer, and it's a bit hacky, but it works.

    No fancy UI, just edit the list of usernames to block.

    I welcome people improving on it!

    There are 2 types of blocking:

    1) post is hidden - clicking brings it back.

    2) post is deleted. can't be brought back.

    "2" probably seems a bit of a puzzling addition - the original idea for that was to make such posts completely invisible with no mention of them, but I found in testing that this made peoples replies to said posts appear to be replies to the post above, so I needed to put something there to show a post was deleted. Ideas for alternative solutions welcome.

    First version release: https://www.jamiejones.org/tampermonkey/Filter%20Users%20on%20The%20Register%20Forums-2025-02-09.user.js

    Awwww. The sad bastard that downloads all my posts is back.. It's been a while, or are you a new stalker?

    Anyway, pull up a chair. Do you want a cup of tea?
