Gmc Forum Filter - Chrome Extension Options

[yoncopin]

I've had enough of the political nonsense going on around here lately. I thought it would end with the election, but I've resigned myself to the fact that this isn't going away anytime soon. On Facebook, etc... I'd just "Hide post from..." but here we cannot do that. Instead of letting it ruin my GMC experience, I built a Chrome browser extension which anyone can download to fix it.

GMC Forum Filter

In the options you can specify a list of users and what you want hidden, essentially scrubbing their presence from your GMC forum browsing. It's sad that it had to come to this, but I want to move on.

Actually I checked and the user control panel has this option. To be fair there's only 1 active political topic, was worse before elections ended and Kris locked them when needed.

I'm not a fan of user banning, all my time on various forums I only used it once (not here) if I remember correct and he was sending useless private messages to me. Even if once in a very long time, that X user might share something very useful so I'd rather not miss anything.

The forum menu offers topic following etc. for users, probably not right away but we could add to our "update wish list" for users being able to not see certain topics in the future.

This is a good idea, so I added it too. There is now a (X) on each topic entry, you can click it to hide a thread from displaying. The update has been uploaded to Google, it should be available in the next hour or so. Currently it's only available when using the 'View New Posts' link but I'll add it elsewhere.

Edit: On second thought, I think I'll leave it only for the 'View New Posts' page. That's the only one I ever look at, and out of sight is out of mind. If you want to see what's happening in a particular forum listing that page will be unaltered.

Edit 2: Update now available.
