I would not have to report posts from the same user over and over again, if the ignore function blocked their threads from appearing entirely. I've dabbled with using firefox extensions to get the job done, but don't want to invest the time or effort.

The following rules for uBlock Origin seem to get the job done, although there might be better ways to do it:

Code: Select all

talkchess.com##li:has-text(/by AndrewGrant »/)
talkchess.com##div[class^=post ]:has-text(/by AndrewGrant »/)
You probably want to change the user name in the rules though ;-)

But that wouldn't work, I mean, even the worst trolls have created very interesting threads. Sometimes they make the thread and leave and let others provide great information on the topic. If you block their threads you miss all this, throwing the baby with the bathwater.
Your beliefs create your reality, so be careful what you wish for.

Well, you should be already banned forever for your last two posts in this thread.
You(again) admitted you are only here for annoying people, which is exactly the definition of a troll.

Together with an earlier confession that you intentionally lied here several times (for preferring not to be called stupid though) also to annoy people, this should be more than enough now.

And don't worry your quirky 'thinking' will be immediately recognized in further attempts of future accounts.

I enter and reply to every single thread, remember? So I've seen the ones you've been missing.

That does the trick. Copy paste that a few times and talkchess is looking quite good! Thanks.
