PPK Ignore Script (version 0.1111111) for Greasemonkey.

There's a lot of things PunBB (the software that runs the PPK forums) does right and there are some thing it can improve on. In an effort to improve things by plagiarism, I searched userscripts.org for PunBB scripts. Unfortunately there's not much else than an ignore script. Oh well, it's a start.

Once you install this script it will add two links under people's identity block in posts; Hide Post and Ignore. Hide Post does just that, it makes that post disappear under a link to show it again. Ignore hides every post that user makes. You will still see the threads they've started in the index but when you view the thread, their posts will be hidden. To un-ignore someone, just click the Show Post link and click on ***IGNORED*** and they will be un-ignored. I guess this can be a struggle if you've ignored a lot of users as you'd be unhiding post after post to find one by the user you're trying to un-ignore. Hey, now I have something I can improve on it with!

I haven't done a lot of testing beyond making sure that it works as advertised. It does work. You probably shouldn't use this to ignore moderators. I guess making that impossible would be another improvement.

Get Greasemonkey here first (if you don't already have it): https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/748

Katie won't let me make a thread in the PPK for this. She's afraid it'll make people sad because they'll think everyone has them on ignore. I guess what I'm saying is most PPKers are adults and if one adult wants to selectively ignore other adults and those adults are incapable of coping with the possibility that they're being ignored, maybe they don't need to know that it's possible they can be ignored to begin with. Or maybe they should grow the fuck up.

Post bugs here. Post improvements here. Think small, I'm not a genius at javascript or DOM, I barely know how this script works to begin with.

Things I'm looking into:

  • Adding username to the Show Post link
  • Blocking moderators from being ignored
  • Making moderators more noticeable
  • User notes? (maybe too much for me)
