Topic: Is there a way to ignore a specific user in post comments?

Posted under General

There's one specific user I don't like. And it would be convenient to make their comments disappear, but only for me. Does the current system have a way to do that? I checked their user page and didn't notice any relevant buttons.

I usually browse on my ipad, so a tampermonkey script won't work for me. And I can't think of any other easy options.

You can add them to your blacklist like this:

userid:(INSERT THE NUMBER THAT APPEARS IN THE PROFILE LINK)

make sure to check the 'blacklist users' option in settings as well, otherwise you'll only block yourself from seeing posts they've uploaded.

Yeah "userid:69420" in my blacklist, plus the 'blacklist users' option worked.

What sucks is they're an artist too. And I like their art. I just think they make contentless comments too much. So its kind of a lose/lose, where I can either block their art, or constantly see their annoying sentences.

you could do like:

.comment-post-grid[data-creator-id="69420"] { display: none; }

in your CSS stylesheet

I swear I tested it and it worked...
oh. idiot.
wrong selector; class, not id. I forgot to fix that before sending, now it should work.

Pure curiosity, are you using 69420 as a placeholder? or is that the actual person because.. they are banned
(RIP user 69420. Such a perfect ID, gone to waste. Some people don't deserve the gifts they receive)

They have 0 comments and 0 posts, so i highly doubt it's the user

Seeing as how it's two "funny numbers" (69 and 420) I assume it was a placeholder number so they wouldn't be disclosing who they're actually blocking.

This is good info though, I've wondered if this is possible. Seen more than a few upvote-chasers in the comments and it'll be nice to just hide them away.

Genius! I didnt know there was a custom css feature. This did enough to solve my problem:

.comment-post-grid[data-creator-id="69420"]{ background:red; }

I happen to have "Disable responsive mode" set in settings. And even when disabling that option right now, I can't seem to get mobile mode to happen anyway. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I imagine, if anything, it'll be slightly different css to get it to work in mobile mode too. Unless you're talking about an e6 phone app.

It's a placeholder. The actual user I'm blocking is user id 5318008.

it's based on viewport size, so if your screen's width is over 600px it won't change to mobile mode.
