Ignore Function

Hi The Tim,

One of the other discussion sites I frequent has an "ignore" button that'll hide any comments or posts by an ignored user. Any chance you could implement this, at least for the comments on the main page?

Thanks,

Hi Saffy,

I implemented this in a user script for firefox and chrome using the tampermonkey monkey extension. It requires you to manually modify the users you want to ignore, though.

Directions:

1. Install tampermonkey extension (I checked it in firefox and chrome.)
2. Script:
a. Go review the script. Update the list of mutterers. Each line should have the user name in quotes followed by a comma:

mutterers = [
"SomeUser",
"ADiffererntUser",
];

b. location: https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/384560-zabto-s-quick-mute
3. Crack a beer for me and revel in your echo chamber.
4. Send beer @zabto on venmo at your whimsy.

Here's the result of the script running - ignored posts get replaced with filler text. If people actually want to use this, I could improve it to just make the posts small and unobtrusive so that if you wished to read it, you could still easily do so. Let me know your thoughts!
