Version 1.0.4
A script for automatically removing trolls from the comments to articles posted on www.maximumpc.com. To get you started, the default script removes a couple of those trolls.
Removing additional trolls (and their multiple user accounts) is easy and requires no programming experience. Just follow the instructions below.
If you’re using Firefox (tested with Greasemonkey version 1.14):
- In the Firefox navigation toolbar, locate the Greasemonkey icon (it’s a monkey head) and click its down arrow. Select Manage User Scripts.
- In the User Scripts panel, locate the MaximumPC Troll Remover script and click its Options button.
- In the Greasemonkey User Script Preferences dialog, click Edit this User Script near the bottom of the dialog.
- In the script editor, locate the line that begins var joList. It should be at or near line 12 in the script. You'll see a list of usernames in quotation marks.
- Within the list of usernames, add a blank line, then type the username you want to add to the list. Wrap the username in quotation marks and add a comma after the second quotation mark.
- Save the file, close the script editor and click OK to close the Greasemonkey Preferences dialog.
If you’re using Chrome (tested with Tampermonkey version 3.6.3737):
- In the Chrome navigation toolbar, click the Tampermonkey icon (it’s a square with two circles inside it). From the Tampermonkey dropdown menu, click the Dashboard button.
- From the Installed userscripts tab, click MaximumPC Troll Remover. This will open the script editor.
- In the script editor, locate the line that begins var joList. It should be at or near line 12 in the script. You will see a list of usernames in quotation marks.
- Within the list of usernames, add a blank line, then type the username you want to add to the list. Wrap the username in quotation marks and add a comma after the second quotation mark.
- Save the file and click OK when prompted to accept the modifications. Close the script editor.
