Title: How to deal with forum trolls
Post by: zagibu on November 03, 2013, 02:34:16 pm
Install greasemonkey browser addon. Click on dropdown arrow right of monkey head symbol (top right in FF), click New user script. Fill in the fields like this:

Name: cRPG forum troll filter
Namespace: cRPG forum scripts
Description: Removes posts from notorious cRPG forum trolls
Includes (One per line): http://forum.melee.org/*
Excludes (One per line):

Click OK. In the popup-window, post the following code below the header:

Code: [Select]
var trolls = [1,593];
var profileLinks = document.getElementsByTagName('a');
for (var i = 0; i < profileLinks.length; i++) {
for (var j = 0; j < trolls.length; j++) {
if (profileLinks[i].href === ('http://forum.melee.org/index.php?action=profile;u=' + trolls[j])) {
var post = profileLinks[i].parentNode.parentNode.parentNode;
if (post.className === 'post_wrapper') {
post.innerHTML = '';
}
}
}
}

Replace the array of trolls with your own list of user ids separated by commas (it currently only features chadz and me). Hit Ctrl + S and close the window.

From now on, every page request in the forum will be filtered by the script and posts of the trolls in the trolls array will be removed. You can easily disable greasemonkey by toggling the monkey head symbol in the browser (top right in FF). You can also disable the script, but leave greasemonkey running, by clicking on the arrow next to the monkey head symbol and choosing "Manage User Scripts", then clicking the "Disable" button on the entry for the cRPG forum troll filter script.

If you want to change the trolls array later on, go to "Manage User Scripts", click "Options" and in the popup window, click "Edit User Script". This will open the script in a new popup window. Don't forget to hit CTRL + S to save after having made your changes.

Hehe, I just wondered, why this thread has no answers yet, when I remembered what it's all about. If someone thinks I should have answered on a post he has made, but I haven't answered, he should ask me about it in a PM.

Right you are. The picture sort of indicates that the juridical system didn't move forward much since medieval times though.

How to deal with forum trolls?  Much the same way you deal with classes and players that get the best of you in game.  Put on your big boy pants and deal with it.

Nice, but why can't you just use ignore function?

Anyway, ignoring people really makes reading the forums more pleasant experience. I have about 20 people on my list which makes reading some threads pretty pointless when I can see barely every second message, but then again, it probably wouldn't be worth the time.

With the ignore option, you still see that they have posted. With my script, they are completely purged from the forum. It's as if they wouldn't even exist.

Also, I found out about the ignore function 5 minutes after I had posted this thread.

Forum trolls could deliver more fun than EU1 sometimes.
