The "The creator of this thread has been blocked" message works well enough but it makes the boards ugly.
I would change this code in threadblock from...
... to this...
That way, they just vanish instead of reminding you of their presence.
Sure, each page of a board will have variable amounts of threads depending on the user, and if you have a lot of people blocked, you might even get blank results per page, but I think overall for the most of us it's an improvement to the aesthetics of the board.

amen! this is one thing the O-Imdb had going or it! you wouldn't even know some troll/doucheprick you had on ignore even MADE a thread!44
and some places where the troll/pathetic soul with no life makes thread after thread after thread, it makes the boards look like a 14 layer cake!

Agreed. The downside is, it would be cumbersome to fetch threads to propagate the blocked threads. Possible, but cumbersome. Let's say you have three people threadblocked that have made one thread on the first page. If the maximum threads per page is 20, you'll only see 17 threads on that page. If you have 15 blocked people that made one thread, you'll only see five. Or if you have five blocked that have made three threads each. And so forth... you can see where this could be confusing to people with a lot of people blocked. That would be something that needs to be coded in. Still I think this solution is better than the current system.

Still I think this solution is better than the current system. so then the logical question would be... is that part of the site really worth visiting?

Cool, thanks. But you could do it yourself if you like . Until the next update, PBP files are essentially gzipped ASCII files with a 6 byte header slapped onto them.

In any case, I'll leave it up to Todge. If there's a reason he can't or won't, I'll respect it. It's his plug-in and I'm just grateful to have it as is.

Aren't you a programmer?

I'm not one to edit someone else's work without permission.

bartlesbyTodge updated the plug-in. Since I don't have the luxury of blocking users, please let me know how it's working now. Threads created by blocked users should not show up at all now.
