Ao3 tag killfilter?

[birdsflying]

I could really do with an extension similar to tumblr saviour that would not display fics with certain user specified tags when I'm browsing a03 (specifically, when I'm scrolling through a fandom tag result page) - anyone come across that?

I am prodding the sourcecode for tumblr saviour to see if I can do a quick and dirty modification but I am also mid-relocation and new job and extremely rusty with javascript, so very much a bear of little brain right now, so if anyone else has done it first, I would love to know. (and personally, the stuff I'd like to avoid, I would be unlikely to want to reveal, so if it just said 'fic removed from view' or similar, without the unhide link, as a quick modification that would also be A+)

ot but I would love this for LJ, DW and Pinterest. The creator of tumblr savior has one for weheartit only for firefox. Sadly it's stopped working for me recently but the coding for it might help someone. http://bjornstar.com/post/61391670/how-to-setup-weheartit-savior-if-you-dont-have

That was super helpful! I'm...not really sure how Userscripts and Greasemonkey and such work since I use Safari, but I edited the script and made Blurb Blocker.

There is also a script for LJ where it's almost like yours. I'm just showing to show that there is a demand for it. Sadly it hasn't been developed in years but people still want it. http://dtm.livejournal.com/26478.html

Since your script is FF only, I'll have to test it later. Thanks in advance for this and good luck.

Oh, can I talk about this on tumblr? A lot follow the Ao3 tag. They could test it too.

It works in Chrome, too, if you have TamperMonkey installed.

Sure, you can share it on Tumblr!

[vickyblueeyez]

tampermonkey? never heard of that one. Will that let me use greasefox scripts in chrome?

[sarken]

I honestly have no idea -- I just launched Chrome, Googled "Greasemonkey for Chrome," and installed the first non-suspicious thing that came up about ten 30 minutes ago. :)

[birdsflying]

Ohhh, you are a star. I'm running it on chrome with tampermonkey and aaaaah, so blissful to scroll through the ao3 results page without twitching madly!

Thanks for making it! Now I'm a much, much happier AO3 user.

Thank you, this is great!

Is there a way I can change the script to make it only look for a specific field? I'm looking for a way to killfile certain authors, but I don't want to eliminate things written for them, or remixes of their work, etc.

[sarken]

Probably the easiest way to killfile an author would be to do something like this: var blackList = new Array('href="/users/USERNAME/pseuds/PSEUD" class="login author"', 'another killfile tag');

You have to include the pseuds/PSEUD part even if the person doesn't have a pseud -- it's looking for an exact match on the HTML, and the archive always uses the full users/USERNAME/pseuds/PSEUD path.

[montanaharper]

Thank you!

I kind of kludged together a similar (maybe? I don't really know what the code is doing) solution that involved just adding 'pseuds/[authorname1]', 'pseuds/[authorname2]' etc. to the original blacklist, and that seems to work okay.

[sarken]

Ah, yes, that's the same thing! I always forget that the 'for so-and-so' part links to the recipient's gift page.

Blurb Blocker Broken?

[shaggy]

Hi, sarken. Sorry to stalk you on a 2 year old posting, but your script stopped working on 2 separate computers in the past week or so, and I'm wondering if you're away of any problem, or better yet, a fix?

Thanks, btw, for making my fandom experience so much nicer. Really love that script and would hate to see it go away. :))

Hi!

Unfortunately, I'm having trouble reproducing any problems with Blurb Blocker. Is it happening on a specific page? Which browser are you using? What terms are you trying to black list/white list, and which version of Blurb Blocker are you using (the version is listed at the top of the script)?

Here's the code for version 1.4, the latest version, since userscripts is down.

Re: Blurb Blocker Broken?

Hey, sorry to reply here so late - I never got a DW comment notification and was just randomly checking back to see if anyone else reported the same problem. Glad to hear it's not broken for everyone, but I'm really stumped about why it's a problem for me.

I check the following AO3 page daily: http://archiveofourown.org/works?utf8=%E2%9C%93&work_search[sort_column]=revised_at&work_search[other_tag_names]=&work_search[query]=&work_search[language_id]=1&work_search[complete]=0&work_search[complete]=1&commit=Sort+and+Filter&tag_id=One+Direction+%28Band%29

It's pretty heavily filtered, but I don't think I added any additional filters right before the script broke for me.

I used the script on a MacBook Air (daily) and on an iMac (very infrequently), and the script broke on both machines within a few days of each other. I run the most current version of Firefox on both.

I did just update the Blurb Blocker script and pasted in my blacklist, and it's still not working. I will go through my blacklist entry by entry to make sure there aren't any funky characters included, but can't see how I would have made the same mistake in both lists when it worked fine for me for ages.

Ugh, sorry to be a pain, but I'm dying to get this functionality back if possible.

Re: Blurb Blocker Broken?

[sarken]

Can you paste the contents of your blacklist here? Or try temporarily replacing it with something simple, like var blackList = new Array('explicit', 'mature'); and seeing if it works? (I ran that on the page you linked, and it worked for me in Firefox 32.0.3 on Mac OS X 10.9.5.)

If it still doesn't work, are you using any other scripts or extensions in your browser? You could try disabling them to see if there's a conflict.

I'm sorry it's not working! I wish I knew why.

LOL my blacklist is 4 pages long in Word, so I won't post here. I did try replacing with the blacklist items that you suggested, and it's still not working. I'll test disabling my other extensions next. Thanks for your help!

Also, I only use the blacklist, and it's all usernames.

Re: Blurb Blocker Broken?

[shaggy]

Holy shit, I finally figured it out. Apparently OS X Mavericks sets system and TextEdit preferences to use smart quotes & dashes. So my script worked fine when I updated, until I added new blacklist items. If anyone else has this problem, here's a post on how to disable:
