Don't know how the general qoob community feels about such things but i've been running a tampermonkey script for the last fortnight called 'QBN dickhead highlighter' that highlighted a list of usernames in red and allowed me to add notes on them... anyway it's been such a revelation I've just changed it to 'QBN without the dickheads' (to remove their posts and comments entirely).
I only ever remember the names of users I like, I have been letting the BS of a minority of users reflect badly on the rest of the community.
The fucked up thing is that ATM my script BLOCKS FIVE USERS (and tbh. it could be 3 users with 5 accounts). It's not that I'm triggered by these guys, I just can't be arsed reading and replying to their chronic shitposts...
When I had their usernames highlighted I was amazed at how much they post and how easy to see that the response from other users toward their posts is negativity or tumbleweeds. I really don't get much from seeing folks triggered in their replies, downvotes, or ganging up on trolls. I'm not going to mention names (however, I noticed 80% of chick of the day is missing and is 800% better as a result).
I want to apologise for censoring and treating the place like a stream for my own entertainment and not like a community... doing this really let me appreciate that the vast majority of users on here are really stand-up folks and genuinely funny fuckers. Highly recommended.
- Hey, kingsteven..detritus
- i see you det. FOR NOW!!! ;-Dkingsteven
- haha, *phew!detritus
- It's good to be the king...PonyBoy
- lol why you need tampermonkey for that?
usercontent.css job done.sted - dis> https://pastebin.com…sted
- hahah, that just removes the username though? mine leaves some grey text in place of the post with a comment ie 'MOR trolling'.kingsteven
- also gets rid of up/downvotes - thank fuck.kingsteven
- "banned and ignored!" is back?drgs
- it does with the username what you define in that css, current ones are just examples one to hide and one to change its color :)sted
- yeah... css would be preferable, i'll give it a go. i'd say even keeping a list of users on paper would be a useful exercise in staying sane on qbn.kingsteven
- How are you retrieving the data on user activity? I have recently started using Python & BeautifulSoup on QBN to get activity stats.soundofreason

- *wonders how long it'll be before users are adding invisible tracking gifs in their posts*
Not that I've ever done that, of course...detritus - "Le dieron un buen rape."

- + have been doing that far to much due to parinoia assuming that folks cant be reasoned with/ have fucked up world views/ are trolling.kingsteven
- (of which you are not :)) would disagree in principle with block/ignore safe space but felt i needed this to contribute more positively.kingsteven
- LOL @kingsteven
I had already forgotten about our conversation, you hard headed fucker!!!
I hope you finally understood why I did not tick that fucken box.soundofreason - I'm glad our conversation served some purpose. I might hit you up again when I got a better structure for my QBN stats.soundofreason
- I can only think of 2 maybe 3 trolls currently.
It's a lot better than it was. The current trolls aren't that good at trolling either.fadein11 - I should of stayed a CoSci major.HijoDMaite
