I block people periodically because sometimes they go too far with their spamming. Not all of their links are bad and not all of the subs they post in are bad. I don't really want to block these users or subs, but I also don't want to see an endless list of shitposts filling the /all/new section. If I block them I can't upvote them on their good posts without unblocking first. Subscribing to users isn't the answer, there's just too many. I reserve that for the users I actually like, and to be honest I rarely use it. It seems to me the easiest way to do this would be to have a blocklist specifically for /all. What does Poal think?

Maybe an extra category for /new. Hot, New, Pop, Top, and Filtered

Related: You can use your uBlock Origin/adblocker custom filter to hide page elements, including content posted by specific users on specific pages.

Add this to your custom filters and change the XXX to the letter u, then change the name of the user after /u/ to the username you want to hide: poal.co##.alldaposts > .post:has(.postheader a[href="/XXX/meepwa"]) (poal css was altering the link in the code to being a user link instead of ignoring it as it is within code formatting. To avoid this, I had to make it so it wasn't a user link - changed the u in /u/ to XXX. Just change it back to /u/ if you want to use this code in your filters.)

Reload the poal page and posts by that user will be hidden.

This code will hide posts made by the designated user in all subs as this specific code isn't written in a way to only affect posts in /s/all, but that is possible.

This method is not as easy as clicking a "Temporarily Hide Posts By This User On This Page" button; you would need to manually copy the line and change the name each time you want to hide a user's posts. I have still found using this and other element hiding methods to been useful sometimes for different reasons.

I like your "example user". She really annoys the fuck out of me sometimes. Thanks for the suggestion.

You're welcome. Hope it might be useful to you or others.

Note also, if the element names get changed at all, the element it looks at wouldn't exist any longer and will no longer hide posts by the user. Would need to get the new element names to update the code to check the post author link in the post header. Shouldn't be an issue though as these elements haven't really ever changed, but something to keep in mind if someone uses this and it stops working suddenly in the future.

Nice try. Just women like you. Easy to see you're one of the sheep that jumped all over that faggot DumbesticTerrorist's shill posts... Why do you keep following me around?
