Script Summary: A stripped-down, kill-file filter for MetaFilter site, including Recent Activity, without extra bells and whistles
By request, diediedead is a MetaFilter kill-file script that contains no additional features or enhancements, as are found with the Mondo Meta script.
If all you want to do is killfile people on MetaFilter, I recommend this script in preference to Mondo Meta for two reasons: 1) it is smaller and more efficient and 2) it works on more pages to hide posts (activity page[s], specifically).
To properly use this script, you must edit the list of killfiled users in the script to match your own preferences. Here’s what you need to do:
Go to line 19:
var killThisLoserList = [
The two names I used for killfile testing are on the lines immediately following:
“mdevore”,
“mathowie”
Delete or comment out (with a leading //) those two lines and add the line containing the user you wish to killfile. If you have multiple people you wish to killfile, add each name in quotes separated by a comma, with no comma after the last name. For example to killfile jessamyn and cortex, you would add the lines:
“jessamyn”,
“cortex”
Remember to save and reload the browser using the newly modified script, as presumably you really don’t want to killfile mathowie. mdevore maybe, but probably not #1.
