^^ Also, not sure how clever it is to use googleapis...

When fraun was interested i got interested too, so I searched for "userscript to hide annoying users on forum". I found a pastebin with a script for some other forum, and just hacked on it till jkl disappeared. I don't know javascript or jQuery, but i am sure there is a way to do it without jQuery at all, and maybe it can be included in some other way then google api. I use decentraleyes, and i think it always uses local jquery anyways.

And yes, the regex could be improved, maybe not using a regex at all and only test for exact matches would be better.

I registered for the sole purpose of submitting an improvement.


It selects only tables where there is a child <a> element that links directly to the offending user. And because this created problems with the main forum page, it also requires a <span> child with the class of 'usernames'. It appears sufficiently specific to circumvent any overzealous matching, and small enough to please the eye.
