The "comments" section under every SFGate.com article is a cesspool (I'm not the first person to say this but I can't immediately find where it was said first) filled with hate, bigotry, trolling and various evil. Sure, you don't -have- to click through to the comments but SFGate helpfully shows the three highest-rated comments below each article--and the worst, and most prolific, commenters have hacking scripts that artificially inflate their comments' ratings. Here's another view on SFGate's comment section: link
Feeling that "out of sight, out of mind" is a good policy, my first UserScript hides several DIVs associated with comments on SFGate article pages.
I hope this is useful to you and thank you for reading and downloading.
Tested on Mac OS X 10.5.8 Build 9L30 in:
- Safari 5.0.2 (5533.18.5) with GreaseKit 1.7
- Chrome 7.0.517.8 dev (native UserScript support)
- Opera 10.62 (User JavaScript turned on)
Should work in other UserScript-supporting browsers without issue.
