Kinds of things we can do:

Add things to the page. Remove things from the page. Show/Hide things. Float things on top of the page. Pretty much any modification you wish they would have made on the server we can do as long as it doesn't require storing extra data that other people will need to see.

Block keywords in the topic title?

Er, Block topics with the keyword in them.

So enter a keyword list just like the user name list, check for matches against:

1. Thread titles on forum index pages
2. Post bodies when viewing a thread

and block accordingly?

To do a "look ahead" and check an entire thread for a keyword would be a pretty expensive operation, but it's doable.

More so the thread title, not the body of the thread.

If someone starts a thread about a user, or a topic you find objectionable, you would see a clickable link that said "topic blocked by CPiggy"

Cool.

Right now, usernames are case sensitive.

Could that be changed so they are not?

Yeah, that's a fairly simple fix.

If there's some enterprising javascript developer out there looking to dip their toes I'd like to offer up two relatively simple tasks:

1. Where possible, change "getElementByTagName()" calls to XML Node calls such as "getChilden()".

2. In functions when the same node is accessed more than once store it's value into a variable and replace those calls with the variable.

BUG:

Right now the script uses spaces to separate names which won't work since spaces are legal characters in user names.

NEEDS TESTING:

It appears that if a thread in the DC forum index has an icon associated in the left side the user name isn't matching.

I'm not using your script even though I've been tempted to but, on this idea, how about scanning just the OP? Some people like to use obscure thread titles.

Excellent idea. Thanks.

How about allowing the Replacement text [img ]http://www.mediathinklab.com/images/alba.jpg[/img] to actually pop up the image instead of the text.

Thats all I want man. Then its complete.

How about a key combination such as SHIFT+CTRL+BREAK that will spawn a methed up garden gnome that stabs the people on your iggy list in the face and feeds their pets antifreeze.

I doubt this is a feature that should be included in CPIggy, but I've always wished that we could have a "spoiler" tag on here. I've seen other boards where it will show or hide text similar to the way you've got CPIggy showing or hiding posts by a certain user. That'd be cool.

According to the BBCode help on here we have one, but it appears to be borked.


Spoiler
Description: This allows users to include spoiler text in posts.
Usage: [ spoiler](value)[/spoiler]

Yeah, but even if it did work, it doesn't work quite right. Posts alternate white and light gray, so you can actually see the text faintly on the gray background.

The ones I'm talking about actually have a "show spoiler" button that, when pressed, toggles the spoiler to show. It works just like your "Show/Hide post by CPIggy'd user" thing.

How ****ing often are there spoilers on Chiefsplanet? Seriously.

Not very ****ing often. Seriously. :p

Like I said, it's probably not something to be put into Simplex's gizmo, but it would be nice to have.

This is a great feature! good job Ari! :clap:

Found a flaw in the program. When some much needed mod abuse occurs and a name change happens, the Ignored user starts showing up.
Even though it took only 1 post to figure out the user, and I doubt there is anyway around it, thought I'd let you know.

i need help with installation of cpiggy.

when i click the script file it displays what looks like code.

no cpiggy screen appears.

how do i get the cpiggy thing to open or whatever it does.

i'm using windows xp home edition.

seems like greasemonkey loaded just fine, but that cpiggy appatently didn't load, since there is no cpiggy screen displayed...

any help would be greatly appreciated...

1. Check and make sure Greasemonkey is enabled.
2. By default CPIggy only works with "www.chiefsplanet.com" URLs, but it's simple enough to add rules without the www and with the IP address from the "Manage User Scripts" dialog in Greasemonkey.

i'm online on firefox and i don't see anybody that i put on cpiggy!!!1!!11
