Are you sick of political threads?

Do you use Firefox?

Then you can take advantage of a little Greasemonkey script I whipped up while watching the Tennessee/UCLA game. Great game.

Anyway, check it out. If you don't have Greasemonkey, you can get it here:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/748

Once you've got that up and going, why, just go get my little creation from one of my servers:

so just tell me . Who I shoot ?

Jeebs, I've got 15 threads blocked just on the front page.

Ahhh, it makes the SO readable again.

I think they should all be mega-merged into one big politics crap thread...it becomes the black hole of politics, which is about what it is in spite of what JWP thinks.

I considered that but I decided it would be overmoderation. Given the length and frequency of the threads, it's obviously something people want to waste their time doing.

I hear you...if you remember back four years ago when I was mod-ified during the Bush/Kerry cluster**** my tasking was to deal with politics. But, you know, I'm just getting back into posting after having been gone for a couple of years(with a few cameo appearances here and there). I don't want to be running around looking for threads/post to moderate just for the sake of doing so. Plus the "feel" of the SO has changed and I need to sorta hang out and get that vibe to be able to make good decisions modador-wise.

Yes

Good idea.

Just an FYI, Tuba is the exact same.

Are you sick of political threads?

Yup. Same goes for "drunkytown" and "stupid pictures of cats" threads.

[Veritas]

Yeah, that's two threads once a week and one long running thread.

Using this sweet greasemonkey plugin I made I have SIXTEEN poli threads blocked on the front page. SIXTEEN!

Now that I've installed your script, I've leared that there is nothing on SF.com except some lame thread about a certain poster's baby-sitting skills.

[PhilTLL]

Good stuff, though on first read I had a hopeful notion that this would automatically kill threads. Say, by thread starter, keywords, percentage of posts in thread by certain posters...etc.
