Dave's ESL Cafe - Nix Specific User Posts on Forums

Script Summary: Hides Posts on ESL Cafe Forums from Specified Users

Script homepage

Some posters on the ESL Cafe Forums are irritating and add little value to the community. This script automatically hides any post of which they are the original author.

The first time you install this script and then visit any ESL Cafe forum, it will popup a dialog box asking you to enter the usernames whose posts you wish to block. Just enter them in a list separated by commas, such as: user1,user2,user3,etc. There is no limit to how many usernames you can enter.

From that point on, every time you visit an ESL Cafe Forum, the posts started by any of those users will just not be there, wiped away for all time from your particular computer's perspective.

Big Limitation: Currently, you can only enter the names of the users you wish to block 1 time, when you first install and use the script. After that, you cannot update this list. I am working on a solution to this problem.
