I think this would clarify things better but im not sure how it might or if it could be done. This would work for me.

so at least when you are in a topic and you see the users you know which ones have blocked you and which hae not so you can augment you replys.


Would only work if everybody involved has the script. And I still don't think it's a good idea. If I were to block people (I don't, personally) I don't want them knowing because it's likely to lead to harassment the script can't cover, such as comments, PMs and other annoyances.

The average block tool that MAL already has could handle those.

yes MALS profile block deals with that issue, this is dealing with reduction of forum abuse and trolling.

But I do see the flaw in this of that unless veryone uses it it wont work. none the less for those who will be using it it's best to make sure you maximise the tool to it's optimum efficancy or there no point in having it.

there is basically no need for everyone to use it. if a user makes use of this and blocks another user then basically whenver that user logs on he will see that he's been blocked even if he doesnt use the add on just like with the compatibility add on user who dont use it can still see the effect in a quote im sure theres an ability for notification of status even if other user dont use it. but this basically give each user that has the ad on the abity to balck so it is a good idea. it is primarly for the user to block people. the notification feature is a curtesy.

This is not going to happen.
I will not allow the blocked user to be notified when specific users have blocked them. Why? Because this is the door to harassment both within and outside of the site. It is the door to ridiculous drama bullshit, like when some 14 year old is ignored and gets mad, he decides to PM all of his friends and tell them how much of a bitch the user who ignored him is. I know that the very creation of this script will cause some of this bull, however when I decided to write it I felt that the benefits of the script would outweigh the costs. This is not the case for notifying users when they are ignored.

Though I can see why this might be desirable for users who would rather not waste their time replying to others, but I think this would be reasonably rare and fairly insignificant anyways. I also think that it may be less likely than users not wanting to know when they are ignored; which in itself is something depressing to some. So naturally, this script will not force anything upon users who do not install it.

Furthermore, I'm sure that any reasonable person would not be getting ignored under reasonable consideration. And, as the script offers the ability to expand quotes or posts, it can be used responsibly. If you are a reasonable person who users don't wish were banned anyways, then you shouldn't have anything to worry about. Unless you really want to communicate with users who are unreasonable. But hey, you can also do that through PM or comments, if it's really important. If it's not important, than hopefully you haven't written 300+ words specifically meant for one person on a, practically, public forum.

You're right that notification that someone has used your username in an ignored post some-what defeats the purpose. But that's why it would be opt in, should I choose to implement it at all.

Also, for concerned users, I am still working on compatibility with the gender script. Though I still can't seem to find the issue in their code, as it looks like the selectors should still be effective.

Excellent. Now I can ignore users with fewer post counts than me.

This is fucking awesome. Thank you very much!

You can also use the script in Chrome by downloading Tampermonkey.

Sorry for the necrobump, but the script somehow just stopped working properly. Instead of collapsing an ignored user's posts, it makes it so that every posts in a thread disappear.

Here's an example:

http://i61.tinypic.com/nm0yti.jpg

I'm pretty sure there was at least 5 different people talking there and I only ignored 2. Also, you see that last post, #178? That's supposed to be me. Why would I ignore myself, seriously? And when I try to unignore somebody, it unignores everyone.

Help?

Hey, sorry for the late reply. It looks like mal changed the forum format a bit which broke the script. I've updated it. If you have trouble with the install link on userscripts you can use this:
http://irc.tmj.im/images/IgnoreMALUser.user.js

Since I almost never login anymore, it's probably best to contact me through irc. I'm on Rizon 24/7 so you can pm me there. Alternatively, leave me a comment on my profile. Might take a couple weeks but I'm more likely to see it than PMs.

I usually respond to irc within 24 hours, so that would probably be the best option. You can get on rizon easily by using this link:
http://myanimelist.net/irc/
And contact me by typing /msg Asandari <A description of the problem> in the chat box. Give it at least half an hour. If I take too long you can always leave me your username and I'll pm you on the site.

i've installed it again because sanity reasons, and yeah the bug is still present. i'm using the 64bit build of chrome on windows.

i'm not even sure if asandari still uses mal. i wonder how we could get the bug fixed... oh well, for now after i make a quick reply i just right click and select 'reload.' it's kinda the same as just pressing the 'see new replies button'.

Same, tried to go without it for a couple of hours couldn't. Refershing was only annoying at first but I got used to it, I do hope there is a fix nonetheless.

It's mostly likely have to do with Chrome version and the windows 86x (64bit). Because my old laptop was 32bit and with an older version of chrome.

For now I have the thread as watched, he is not that active but he logins from time to time.

Though you can contact me on IRC at any time. I'll look into it. Does it only happen in chrome?
Edit: I suppose so, posted from firefox and saw no issue.
Edit #2: Bug reproduced. Will fix asap. Thanks for the heads up.
Edit #3: Bug fixed. Appears to have been a conflict with jQuery. I haven't extensively tested the extension so please let me know on IRC if there are any new bugs.

You can get the new version here:

I know of at least someone who's having a similar problem but I'm not able to block someone who doesn't have an avatar, it will go away with a refresh. And judging by what someone else said, when someone got rid of their avatar after having been ignored with the script earlier, it stopped ignoring them.

Using firefox

It was a bug with greasemonkey. Workaround applied.

And now that firefox 36 is out they decided to patch that workaround. And then they escalated the severity. This is what I get for not using dev versions.

People interested in the fully functioning script in firefox will have to wait for greasemonkey 2.4 to come out. For now, use this hobbled script: http://irc.tmj.im/images/IgnoreMALUserFF.user.js (Version 1.0.2.5).

If you are not on firefox, do not install the FF version. It removes features.

Update available to fix issues with MAL html changes.
http://irc.tmj.im/images/IgnoreMALUser.user.js (v.1.0.4)
Firefox only: http://irc.tmj.im/images/IgnoreMALUserFF.user.js (v.1.0.2.6)

You could probably even try 1.0.4 on firefox if you have an up to date greasemonkey and see if it works. I'd need to restart my browser to test... I hate restarting my browser.

Thanks MangaKing for letting me know.

The bug should only happen if the browser also made the same change that firefox made when they broke greasemonkey. No idea though, I only test in firefox (because of lazy, not elitism).

Edit: If you grabbed the script in the last 15 minutes, may want to update again. No version bump, just had to get it working for the new extra long forum pages.
