Killfile
« on: 14 May, 2002, 07:42:13 PM »
I have just created a killfile option for anyone who wants to ignore posts from certain users. The killfile operates in both the chatroom and the messageboard.

To add a user to your killfile, go to the chat room and type /killx where x is the username of the person you want to ignore. You can also remove them again using an /unkillx command.

If it works properly, the message index will not show threads which only contain messages from ignored users, the thread page will ignore them but you can still see their messages from the links at the bottom of the thread page.

In the chat room, ignored users will still appear on the room list but you won't see anything they say.

I'm open to suggestions of how to refine it.

BTW, if you scroll the chat room down you can see a list of available commands on the left.

Cheers,

Wake

You change language and then type normally...don't type the sentences on the same line as the change lang command.

To test if a language is working you need a strong swear word. Only the first three languages have much to choose from.

Thanks Wake!

Word of warning to other users:  try to avoid capital letters if you want it to work.

I think that the case sensitivity issue is now sorted(ish).

Would it be excessive to hide all replies to killfiled posts as well?

Arthur I think you a Pfft.
But a sexy one.

Yours forever,

Hands up who actually has Scojo killfiled?

I thought about it, but then I thought... where's the challenge, you know? :p

True, but if you do killfile him you regain the ability to use the message board for, say, discussing 2000ad.
