Ignore list of mass paid signature advertisement users (4200+ users)

[Spoetnik]

Well here is the link if you guys never seen it..
Signature Adblock Script [0.5.0]

It's made a moderator here Grue and he did a good job.. it still works great.

I added a FAQ to the first post in this thread last night. I feel that may give you an answer as to why I don't block all signatures.

You STILL don't get it.
I see a pattern here.. you seem to be difficult and fail to "get" what people are saying.

The script / add-on thing i mentioned here that you ignored me on countless times..
does the SAME thing you are doing.

Q: Why don't you block all signatures and move along?
A: Because I care about the problem these signatures are causing, not the signatures.

The signature or who uses it is not in question to me, at least.

Also the script your are mentioning, in fact, does not do the same thing I'm doing. This script merely makes it where I cannot see certain signature and does not ignore the user. This script is a self-inflicted [less than] band-aid.

If that script already finds and hides paid signatures it can easily be modified to also hide posts above them.
And then it would do what your list does with real time update.

I looked at the script and noticed a few problems:
1. It cannot be easily modified. This is programmed to block signatures, not users. You would need an entirely new script to ignore the users.
2. It downloads more scripts within the script, which seems potentially unsafe. Edit: Disregard this. The links do not function and are only for updating the script manually.  
3. (The Show Stopper) It uses a scoring system. So lighter mass advertisements would pass. It cannot individually determine good from bad, personal from mass. So this would stir up several more problems. The same problems which others (and you) say my list has, but much worse.
4. It does not record who is blocked.

1. It is very easy to modify actually, I know only some basics of js and took me 2minutes to figure out how to hide full posts instead of just signatures.
Just change "("div .signature")" to ("div .windowbg2") and it will do exactly that. Tested and working well.
3. Yep it isn't perfect but neither is this and it would bring in real time auto update which is big improvement.
4. Does it matter? It blocks them in real time so where do you need list?

As I said before, you and others are fine with the bulk of today's users monetizing the forum and accounts. I'm not fine with it. How does this script solve this and the problem of massive forum degradation?

[veleten]

what makes you think that you wearing a signature of your own business and thus monetizing your account and this forum
are better than those who wear a commercial/paid signature?
yeah,lets ignore everyone wearing a paid signature and miss out on posts by,lets say Shorena or others just because we dislike sigspammers
don't throw the baby out with the bathwater

Just like your ignore list does? It hides posts made by them.

[gadman2]

You're right. I'll add this to the original post. My computer is doing some other work at the moment and I'm limited to mobile. I'll add it shortly. It will give users options on how they'd like to block these signatures and users.

[gadman2]

I added this to the first post as an alternative method. Thanks.

[Spoetnik]

Good idea adding Grue's script to the first post.
I did not know about the config option etc.
I used it as it is with no changes on Firefox.

So now users have 3 different ways to accomplish a similar result 

[Febo]

If you own business that you advertise in your signature, does that count as an paid signature?   Because I see you added smoothie. He advertise his business in his profile signature.

Could you list name by alphabet? So we could easily browse each others.

Read the FAQ in the first post and then press ctrl+f to be amazed .

[Spoetnik]

I wonder if this would lag the forum if enough people were using it.

I wonder if the forum would need as much resources without redundant material from paid signature users.

[Actualiteit]

why not just disable show signatures in your settings?

[aysha9859]

I am not on the list. proud of myself. its a big honour for me

(cuz nobody accepts me their campaigns)

[gadman2]

You asked this question because you didn't read (1) any of the original post, (2) the FAQ in the first post, (3) or any of the replies in this thread. Please do.

[spngebob]

In my opinion you are spamming forum with your ignore list.

What would happen if every user decide to create ignore list and each create new thread for that? Massive spam of new "my ignore list" topics.

[ridery99]

you have collected a nice list sir
