What is Blog Comment Killfile?

"Blog Comment Killfile" is a Chrome extension designed to elevate user experience on online blogging platforms. By providing a killfile, usually used in usenet, it enables users to hide comments and commentors they wish to avoid. The implementation does not tamper with public visibility of these comments, maintaining the open conversation for others. A simple [hush] link acts as the trigger for this custom comment filtration.

Summary

Analyze keywords

The intention of this script is to hide the comments of commentors you, the reader, do not wish to hear from. In that respect, it's like an old usenet killfile. It does not affect what other visitors to the site will see.

This is not a tool meant for handling spam, only for an individual comment reader to avoid having to see comments they don't wish to see.

When the script works for a given blog, comments will have a [hush] link near the commentor's name. (visible only on mouseover!) Clicking on that will hide comments from that person from then on.

Works pretty well on Disqus. Would be perfect if it allowed wildcards and could distinguish non-logged-in posters.

So many assholes on Disqus. This helps for sites that haven't implemented block.

Has worked well with Disqus for quite a while. Despite the trolls' best efforts. Flood spam is hard to guard against, but once you see it and block, it works.
