Script Summary: AJAX thread updating while blocking SPAM and replacing the XXX with numbers again. Designed to work with /b/ackwash reloaded.

Version 2.0
People requested an options menu, so I delivered. You can now ctrl+click on the Kodiak HUD in the bottom right. It will open up an options menu that allows you to change the settings. Once you save, refresh the page and all the settings will take effect and be save from that point on.
I have also had a few people request an image expander for new posts. If you disable the image expander in the Firefox plug-in and instead use "yet another 4chan image expander" (http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/48538) it will work with the updated posts. No reason to reinvent the wheel.
Thank you all for your support!ATTENTION
Please disable other spam blockers. Currently this spam blocker is mainly for /b/. If you want other spam disabled, please send me the spam message and the board it was on. I will add it to the list. If I get enough requests from other boards, I will make a special array for each board and have it filter based on those to speed up the process and not bog down your browser.
Kodiak Recall
Kodiak Recall is a fully function AJAX updater, spam blocker, and link number repair tool. It was designed for 4chan and can be used in conjunction with the 4chan Firefox plug-in, as well as /b/ackwash reloaded. (http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/44327) and Yet Another 4chan Image Expander (http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/48538).
In Layman's Terms
Basically, this script alone will filter out spam, fix any of the XXX number replacements and dynamically update the thread without you EVER having to hit refresh. It even removes spam from the new posts, so you will never see spam. When an update to the thread is detected, it will warn you in the page's tab that there is a 'New Post'. This allows you to monitor multiple threads at the same time without any need to go to them and refresh! Kodiak Recall will even check once a day for new updates!
This was my first attempt at creating anything powerful with AJAX or even Javascript in general. I spent most of the last two days optimizing my code so that it would have minimal impact on your browsers performance. I am proud to say that I can not notice a performance difference between this all-in-one script and just a simple spam remover!
Functioning Partner Scripts?
- /b/ackwash reloaded (http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/44327)
- Yet Another 4chan Image Expander (http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/48538)
Any script that says it works with an updater should work... Spam blockers have serious problems in general with updaters, that is why I created a spam blocker within Kodiak Recall.
Instructions
Install and make sure you have disabled any other spam blockers and number fix scripts. After that, you will see a notification window in the bottom right of any thread you are on. If you click that it will disable the script for that page. Ctrl+click on it and you will get the settings box.
Credits
I was inspired by 4shadow. However, 4shadow has not been updated in years, and it does not function with number fix scripts or spam blockers. There are various reasons on why these script do not function together, but instead of boring you... know that Kodiak Recall does not need spam blocking and number fix scripts. It does it all on it's own.
You will notice similar functions between the two scripts. This is a FULL rewrite though. I learned AJAX by going through 4shadows code and a few other scripts on this site.
The auto update warning script was created by sizzlemctwizzle (http://sizzlemctwizzle.com/) Thank you again for creating such a powerful and useful script!
At the moment, I have only tested this in Firefox, as I really never use any other browser, especially when surfing 4chan... If you come across problems or errors in Firefox, have questions, comments, requests or suggestions please feel free to post in the discussion board.
