This script adds another entry to the menu you get when you click the arrow by someone’s name, labelled “Block from replies.” Clicking this button will result in replies from the plurker in question being hidden. This functionality is, for some reason, not provided by Plurk.

To unblock a user, click the “Block from replies” button again (it currently reads “Block” and not “Unblock” even if they’re already blocked). Note you’ll have to use a plurk from them to do so - e.g. on their timeline, or on your timeline if you follow them.

The list of people to block is kept in a cookie, and thus is not shared across computers. Also note that, although any replies by these people will not be visible to you, they will still count as unread (there’s no good way to determine who made a reply until it’s loaded, so this is unfixable).
