I don't feel that I need it but some others who browse might appreciate it. Just wanted to give this a little more prominence by putting it in its own thread, so those who want it can reach it.

1. You'll need to install Greasemonkey, a utility that allows one to attach scripts to web pages (apparently, I don't know technical stuff). Got there and click "Download Greasemonkey" and let Firefox install it.

2. Restart Firefox.

3. Go here and tell Firefox it's ok to install the script.

4. Bask in your newfound ability to ignore people!

Clicking the little X by people's names adds them to your ignore list. The button can be clicked again at any time to take them off it again. In addition, a button will appear on all ignored users posts allowing you to reveal the content of that particular post temporarily, if desired. Otherwise, you will be able to see that they have posted but the actual text is removed.

Thanks! Bye-bye Scooter-boy and Sekiguchi's buddy too! It's going to be a troll free board!

lol
I don't believe you'd really do it. You wouldn't be able to have nearly as much fun.

Not if you're still here, going by general opinion.

Who is Scooter-boy again? Did you find me around Namba yet? Rolling Eyes

You should go share your remarkable discovery with the Korea Forum. That's where it's really needed.

As Hoser said, I don't believe for a minute that canuck will want to "ignore" anyone as that would deprive her of too much fun. But just in case she does I think we should quote, in full, anything "Scooterboy" and "Sekiguchi's friend" posts. I don't think the Firefox system will be smart enough to hide quotes from them that we post.

Canuck, are you a "she" or a "he"....
(and I was just curious, yesterday I was using the search function and I was looking a really early posts...I saw "Canucksgirl" (or something like that) is that of relation to you....you, not by any means have to answer this, I am just curious)

Just ignore her using Firefox. That's how I ignore your girlfriend.

Does that mean you'll be ingoring yourself too?
