Inspired by Kryzchu and Muli's recent user-scripts, I've come up with a script to reduce some of the clutter on the forums.

Features

---

[1] Provides an ignore check box for every thread on every Sub-Forum. Any thread marked as "ignore" will be hidden in all your future sessions.
(This only alters your view. So everyone can choose what they wish to see.)

[2] Click "Undo All" to reset all ignored threads. The forum will look as it is served by Warlight.


Prerequisites

---

Install the following based on your browser

Tampermonkey in Chrome

Greasemonkey in Firefox

How do I get it?

- If Fizzer publishes a major update to the forums, this may break.
- It only works on sub-forums. You will not find this feature under "All Posts"
- This script has only been tested on the later versions of Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome.
- If you would like to contribute to help improve this, let me know. I have a few ideas already :)

Cool script!

Undoing ignores could be improved. Now it either doens't let me undo ignores, or it undoes all of them simultaneously, as ignored threads simply vanish alongside with their checkbox.

Fantastic work!!

Great. Marking users as ignored would also be cool :)

good idea
will it shut you all up about me?

@Odin
I'm not so good at javascript(learnt most of it yesterday :P). I tried playing around with it, but couldn't do better. If anyone with js knowledge has ideas on how to better the UndoIgnore(), please advise.


@Kryzchu
It is definitely the next thing on my mind :)
If you notice the call to isForumPostPage(), I even left a TODO comment :P


@Thomas
Those who don't like your posts, will soon forget you ever existed ;)

sweet relief

Then you know more about js than me :)

I don't exactly understand how the functions work, eg. show() or hide() so hard to say much. They look like js standard library functions.

What I can say is that Undo All doens't work for me at all now. It worked once or twice at the beginning, but now my 'general' subforum's 1st and 2nd pages are blank.

I would suggest that threads only get ignored in the 'all' forum. Subforums would show ignored posts with their checkboxes.

I'm installing this. Some people just aren't getting the hint.

Thanks, Deadman!

Awesome idea, though the only thing that I used it for was to remove all the off-topic forum threads; if those were deleted, I suspect people wouldn't have to resort to using this to ignore the countless (pointless) threads that have degenerated the forums. Either way, great job!

It works verry well, but I have come up with some ways to improve it:

• Allow it to work on /Forum/Forum.
  
• Hide forum threads that are/were created by blacklisted players.
  
• Hide forum threads by forum genre.
  
• Ability to hide threads by keywords.

About "Undo ignore" - it could work like that:
- replace checkboxes with 'ignore'/'unignore' button
- 'undo all' could be replaced with 'show ignored' - clicking would show ignored threads (without altering their status) so user could restore them with 'unignore' button

btw, why one userscript embedded into another?

I'd like to be able to block images and avatars for some users, without blocking the text. If I get some spare time, I would be able to write some js to do that.

The "All posts" tab does not have an ignore option.

Thanks mate! Now I finally can ignore the 90% of the forum that is bullcrap!

Spam? Where? Oh, you mean this first page of All Forums where there is so much dealing with bigotry it is pushed to the second page?:

Lol Chris, indeed this is terrifying... What is fucking happening in this forum? It is time to hire a moderator or forum admin...

Not sure my Bigoted comedy thread should be treated as spamming but whatever
