Signature Adblock Script [0.5.0]

[pozmu]

We've been asking for it, and we've received it. Even though this might not be the permanent solution that we've been looking for, it's a great temporary one. Great work grue.
However, was there not a option to disable all signatures?

Lol, what?
You have one of the blocked signature yourself...

Ignoring hundreds of users is inefficient. There are too many spammers. I've disabled all signatures long ago anyways.
This is something that I've needed. This might be a bit controversial, but it hurts my eyes a bit.

I don't trust your js code.
It's non human readable.

Share original source code.

As with most javascript distributed over the internet, the script is minified to save bandwidth. It also has the benefit of removing all my debugging code. The only change from the original is the removal of dead code and renaming of variables.

I get:

Code:

e.style['text-decoration'] is undefined

and of course zero results . This is Debian stable's "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:31.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/31.0 Iceweasel/31.5.3".

Funny how a this is created by a mod. I'd be interested to see if there are any after effects if it gets popular.

I wouldn't install it though, I don't see signatures as spam besides some very specific exceptions.

Not really, it's basically this, which both theymos and I think is needed, except not integrated into the forum. Basically an ignore feature for signatures, possibly including auto ignore at a certain point. It's not a solution to sig spam, but as part of a larger effort it will help long term.

Is this larger effort going to give us an option to hide signatures on a user by user basis from inside the forum? I'm sure that if people were able to do this without having to download a script it would be more effective.

[BadBear]

That's what the thread I linked to was about, yes, forum supported signature ignores.  In addition to ignoring any specific user signature, it should also automatically ignore all similar signatures across all users (ie sig campaign ads). Theymos also mentioned an auto ignore at a certain threshold, which would be useful.

[coinpr0n]

It's a good option to have and I like that gentle signatures are still kept. Might try it out some day but I'm OK with the signatures right now.

[Jeremycoin]

I think we don't need to do that
Although I don't like annoying ads
But, ads is one of the ways to earn BTCitcoin here

I had a temporary solution myself which to be honest was a bit of a DIY job. This is much better and will be using from now on. Hopefully Badbears suggestion will become a reality in the new forum software. Until then this will suffice. Cheers grue!

This solution is great. Helps our eyes, but doesn't stop spam.  

If this is going to be updated regularly, would it be more efficient to add specific keywords like "bitmixer" and "bit-x"?

OMG! It is so easy. Why nobody thought about this before? This is ALL we need, signature block with ability just to react to specific words, user would be able to create specific filters only for the most obnoxious signatures! Can you do this?

Cheers! All hail grue! \o/

Good trick, thanks!

The script has been updated to 0.3.0. It includes the fix for the bug that dserrano5 pointed out. I've also changed the storage account of the script to bitcointalk to grue (I recently found out that I controlled that account :p). More importantly, the change of of storage account allowed me to use a SAS url for the script, which has the benefit of not working if the owner of the account changes. That way if my azure account expires, another malicious party can't take control of the domain and push rogue updates.

This is awesome. Too bad I can't use it on my mobile
