GB may have inspired the gbaway script - but if you install it you'll see that only users that one chooses are actually blanked out of the forums.
You or GB (or anyone else) could use the script to ignore me (or anyone else).
No one is removed by default - it's choice that's left to the individual.
Please don't condemn a thing without first underst ...[text shortened]... it of my time to do this. The question is what are you doing to enhance the site?
I really appreciate the work both Ouroboros and orangutan have done providing scripts to make life more pleasant for users of this site. I do agree that one particular script has an unfortunate name (perhaps PosterAway could be its name in its next incarnation) but it's been extremely useful when someone like *#*# or @?@? has spammed every forum thread with irritating inanities. Some of the scripts have gone on to become part of the RHP standard programming, which indicates that others have found them useful too.

You still called it the GB script, which I think was RUDE & INSULTING.
I'd never download a script made up by someone else. One never knows what is all in it but the writter.
Go back & read what I said in my aforementioned post about what I've done to enhance the site. You don't seem to read what what is said to you.
You just like to PUFF out you ...[text shortened]... the least you can do for the site.
You also make it your job to point it out to EVERYONE.
And before you pull your I know you are but what am I post I do ridicule members of the herd or friend group or whatever you're calling them this month when they earn it.. As they do for me. I've never seen YOU disagree with a anything GB says because you're his little Yes Sidekick.
Originally posted by Very RustyThat just shows that you are ignorant in the ways of the real, old internet.
I was if course talking about Hiding posts by a given poster, as you well know.
I think it is quite rude & picking on that one poster. What good has it done other than hurt the feelings of the poster you made it for.
If orangutan had called it by its proper name of "killfile", you'd probably have objected on the basis of that being to violent.

... I try and keep the herd at bay when they are getting carried away picking on a poster(S).
So you see yourself as the "Herd Police"; perhaps it's a bigger job than that...are you the HERDINATOR?
The Herdinator ... [* cue music .... da- na-na,dah-na-na]
VR: Look, the guttersnipe series trolling was uber thin...we spotted them easy, but these are new. They look human... pronunciation, prose, typos, sweat, bad breath...everything. Very hard to spot; I had to wait till one of the HERD moved on you before I could zero him.
GB: Look, I am not stupid, you know. They cannot post things like that yet.
VR: Not yet...not for about 12 hours given the times zones.
GB: why don't we just go to the mods?
VR: You don't understand; the HERD can't be bargained with. THEY can't be reasoned with. THEY don't feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And THEY absolutely will not stop, ever, until you are banned.
