Extension summary

If you've been on the internet for more than a day you'll know that unfortunately there are some people who post with the intent to seek your attention and waste your time. Those people are known as trolls.

The Craigslist forums are open to anyone who creates an account there. And Craigslist has a flag system to help police the content there, however, trolling is still not something the administrators there can control.

So Trollblock offers a way to enjoy the forums, while giving you control over the posts you may not want to see.

You don't want to waste your precious time reading posts from people who are just trolling for your attention. If you are decided you are done with seeing posts from a certain poster, then you can use Trollblock to simply hides the troll postings for you.

Bear in mind that this is still BETA version, and is being improved, new features will be added as time allows.

The ability to add your own list of trolls will be added in the near future.
