Since vBulletin doesn't support ignoring threads started by proven trolls, here is a simple Greasemonkey script to get you rid of such threads on talk.maemo.org: http://www.topflashers.com/maemo/mis....maemo.user.js

That + user ignore in profile settings should get you rid of all those pesky trolls and attention whores.

Whenever a new troll arrive and just refuses to die, all you need is to edit the script and add troll's name to the comma-delimited list at the end of the script. OrangeBox is, obviously, added by default.

Cheers...

Should make the user list show up in a preferences setting so you don't have to modify the script directly .

See, you can't win. I can always come back with a different name - if I wanted to. However, since I'm not a troll I will not come back should the majority of the users decide to petition the moderators to close my account.

Unfortunately, Greasemonkey does not allow adding GUI for the script editing, and I don't think I have enough time to write a fully-blown FF extension just to keep the pesky trolls in-check. Little text editing never hurt nobody

Yes, and we could always edit the script - if we wanted to (*cough*).

zwer has thought this out. Hey, maybe it could be like Adblock Plus: Maybe we could set up "lists"...

Why is it so hard to go into the User CP, click on edit ignore list and add a username there?

It may not ignore the whole thread someone you don't care for posts in, but it will not display his/her post to you. Does almost the same thing your script as your script, which 90% of people here including myself don't know how to implement, or don't really have the need to implement it.

Some of you guys are way too sensitive. Seriously.

Er, because you can still see threads started by said person?

Now you're nitpicking. Sure, you can see a thread started by a user on your ignore list, but you can't see what the user says in that thread.

I mean, do we need a "script" to tell us what threads we should not open? Are we that far gone that we can't use our 12 (in my case) brain cells to look at who made the thread, and pass it up?

It's more of a self-control thing.... when this thread keeps popping up on the "new post" screen and keeps popping up and keeps popping up.....

I... Just...Have...to...CLICK!!!

Especially those of us that try to keep our New Posts empty.
