Signature Adblock Script [0.5.0]

[mexxer-2]

Can't do it. Theymos had come up with a brilliant way of blocking ad blockers from blocking ads here. Elements get scrambled. Smart bastard lol.

Seems so, theymos can be one... smart guy some times(did you think I was gonna call the almighty admin a bastard?)

Nah, but that's why I put lol, just joking. I bet he is one of the smartest persons on earth though. Probably will go insane in a couple years being so smart. I think it's a burden actually.

FireFox + Adblock Script and Adblock Plus and Adblock Plus Element-hider FTW !

Element Hider has a configurable setup.. you don't even have to use the ID for an element.

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

If you're on android you might be in luck! I did some research last weekend and it turns out it's really easy to port a greasemonkey script to a Firefox addon, which works on Firefox for Android. I hacked together a version and submitted it to AMO but it's currently awaiting review. You can download it here: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/bitcointalk-signature-adblock/. It's currently awaiting review. Before that, it won't be signed so you'll need to disable addon signatures for it to work.

It's approved now.

Very cool.

Perfect. Works like a charm!

My solution is just to ignore all users that have joined signature campaigns. They post nonsense just to get paid, so they don't have much to add anyway.

sadly, you are right. only way, how to raise quality of this board again is to disable signatures and let signatures managers/whores go away. is so obvious, how whores posting anything just because every posts counts..

Nice script, do you hardcode sigs to block or try to detect them?

[n691309]

I don't know if it is just for Heros but i have an option "Don't show users' signatures." and it removes the signatures to all users have you guys tried this option?

It is available to everyone. Still you have a special ability to block forum ads if you are Hero and above

If it is available to everyone then it's much better than running a script? The signatures does not hurt my eyes and i like to see what kind of signatures are people wearing.

This script is for fancy signatures. The one in options removes all the signatures. This one only removes the one which are so fancy that they must belong to a signature campaign

Bump.

what i have to do is just install Firefox extension ?

Yes, install this extension :

[Spoetnik]

SO yea, that would be cool if Grue can enable ad blocking too!

Use adblock plus extension, manually remove the element

Yup.. i use AdblockPlus "Element Hider" add-on too and it's great  
I have the 2 extensions on both Chrome + Firefox.
But i noticed not long ago they messed up the way the Element-Hider works on Chrome.
You use to be able to get a preview of sorts and it was easier to get at what you wanted hide.
They now made it way harder to use.  

Both browsers have gone crazy changing things  
They just can't leave things alone..

Also for LOL'z check out V. Butterin outing theymos for being such an Ad-monger LOL
https://bitcoinmagazine.com/articles/bitcointalk-at-war-with-ad-blockers-1369691906

What i found funny from that story is how much effort theymos has invested in getting ad's to work here.
and when i had registered in 2013 and BTC was still below $50 everyone
kept saying he had already gotten like a million dollars in donations.
And in 2016 they have this New forum thing they say "we're working" on..
The Million dollar forum LOL
Would have to be the most expensive forum in human history ahhahahha
Missed the point? ..priorities

EDIT:
Almost forgot to mention the chronic 502's and lag all the time too.

@Gahs
You are free to look at all the SIG campaign signatures you want.
We all on the hand may not want to see them.

Did you understand what this script is about?
It helps the script user not see *some* sig's
So if you DO want to see them then simple, don't install the script.
Nobody is forcing you to install this script here.. it's an option for those that want it.

EDIT: Fixed spelling

[ElMoIsEviL]

On iceweasel "firefox for linux" it does not work i have grasemonkey installed but it does not block the ad's for now maybe i have some issues on my side iw ill try to debug this but can anyone else confirm it does not work for iceweasel?

[pr0d1gy]

Signatures really don't bother me, but if you really want to get rid of them, just use ABP + Element Hiding Helper (https://adblockplus.org/elemhidehelper)

If you mess with the values, I'm sure you could block all signatures, my example just picks on ElMoIsEviL (sorry, just using you as example) lol

Open the helper...


Mouse over what you wish to block. (it will highlight it in red)


Block that specific thing (or edit and try to block all? if possible)




I even went and check his other posts, and his signature is gone from there as well. So if someone is better with ABP I'm sure just adding that certain value would block every signature.

Just my .0001 btc ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[Spoetnik]

Just to make it clear for Noobs this is for the Signatures the script detects as a "Campaign"
From what i can tell is it has worked perfectly.
It does not block "Ad's" it removes *some* SIG's.

But if we are talking about Ad's ALSO then you can remove them in the forum options if you want to.
Only when your account has reached Hero level will you see the option.
The choice is up to you if you REALLY want to disable the forum ad's here though.
It IS cool of him to make that option available for some of us.

Thanks again Grue.
And for your help on the Mycroft browser search provider i submitted. (works on Firefox but not Chrome last i checked)

I have installed the script and I really like since I'm from people that don't like to see colorful signatures and with an exaggerated font size, but it is understandable that such campaigns do to draw attention and attract customers which is good for them.

Thank you, grue.
