Digg Hide Buried Comments

Hides buried comments (and their children) on digg.

I got tired of having to scroll past people responding to trolls and decided to do something about it. Now, any comments that have been buried will be completely hidden, and so will the replies (except for the out-of-thread replies of course, *sigh*).

Version 0.2: Per Daniel's request, I've added a link to story page to let you toggle between showing and hiding the buried comments. You'll find the link right before the profanity filter link.

Version 0.3: Updated for the new AJAX style comment system (who knows if they'll actually keep it).

Ken, I suspect that the problem was the missing @include for www.digg.com. (I was always visiting http://digg.com, so I never noticed.) I've updated the script, so you might want to give it another try.

I've tried this a couple of times. It does not work. Buried comments still come thru.

Yeah, great idea. I'll probably add it by the profanity filter and sort drop-down list.

This sounds like a great idea, any chance you could add a button to enable/disable the hiding though?

You could comment on this script if you were logged in.
