| OK, here is an update... I found the sourcecode for "killfile" on my own at... http://snowplow.org/martin/greasemonkey/killfile.user.js ...and it is already configured to work with FR. I temporarily turned off "FR Tree View" to test "killfile" This killfile script adds two extra links to every post: [kill][hide comment] to the right of the regular [Report Abuse] link. I like that. The [hide comment] is pretty useless because it does not read thru the rest of the thread and hide all the rest of the comments by the same A-hole user, but [kill] DOES! yea!! And I see that once [kill]ed, the A-hole is gone, even on other threads, AND I could exit Firefox and later restart it, and it still kept blocking the drivel from the a-hole. AND it can remember MULTIPLE a-holes. I don't know what the limit is, but I will likely find out. The listing of posters whom you never want to read, is called a "Killfile.Trolllist" and is a string variable kept in about:config. The formatting of that is just a tiny bit tricking, but if I choose to add any more names manually, it should not be too bad. Then I turned "FR Tree View" back on to see if they were compatible together. It seems they are, partially. In regular "FLAT" view they both look good. [kill][hide comment] and [QUOTE] are all there for each post! yea! And [kill] still works, and [QUOTE] still works. Even the [POSTER REPORT] button still works. However [UNQUOTE] does not work, the quoted material never goes away... OK I can live with that. Once I hit a Quote button, I'll just leave it there, and never unquote it. Thats fine. Then I tried the [TREE VIEW] button. THAT took 30 seconds on a thread not all that large, where it used to take a fraction of one second. And then more troubling was that the [kill][hide comment] buttons were gone. So then in summary, I guess I can live with just letting FRTreeView always load in its default "FLAT VIEW" mode, because then I will still have its wonderful QUOTE button, and its sometimes-interesting POSTER REPORT> And I am really starting to love using "killfile" to do my own personal zots of the FR heckler-trolls on many FR threads!!! oh, I see I will need to tweak killfile.user.js slightly... It kicks in for any url like... http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/#######/posts, (or /f-chat/ ) but not for urls... http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/chat/#######/posts ...a simple fix, I am sure. If anyone knows the whereabouts of FRTrollBlocker.user.js, please let me know, and also if you've compared that to killfile.user.js Thanks! FUE |
