Block your (un)favourite trolls from forums such as ZDNet, PCPro and CNet. Stomp on those suckers so you never see them again!
Comments on many tech forums often descend into an ill-mannered slanging match. Insults and ad-hominen attacks abound, with (no doubt overworked) forum admins seemingly unable to halt the abuse.
So, I put together this extension together to block such trolls.
And as one person's "troll" is another person's "heroic fighter for the good cause", you get to define who your particular list of trolls are. Think of this as an old-style email kill list, but for forums rather than for your inbox.
New TrollPeak Feature!
====================
As of version 0.35. For those weak moments when you can't help yourself! TrollPeak allows you take a sneaky look at what the troll said, but without having to unblock him.
Forum Troll Stomper currently works with the following forums:
* zdnet.com
* pcpro.co.uk
* cnet.com
I can adapt to work with other forums on request. Just let me know via the Feedback link.
Developer note: the extension cannot block comments that load inside an iFrame. That's why I had to remove the ComputerWorld and PCPro options.

- (2019-07-24, v:0.38) John Wilkinson: everycircuit.com - minor site
Looking for a blocker for this site. It's very minor and I already have the key code in javascript but if you could use it or use your own code that would be super awesome. Don't expect you'd be interested but it's just a thought. Still looking :) Here's the script. <script> var myTds = document.getElementsByTagName("td"); var i; for (i = 0; i < myTds.length; i++) { var btn = myTds[i]; var x = btn.attributes[1].value; if (x=="YOUR_TROLL_HERE") { myTds[i].style.visibility = "hidden"; } else { myTds[i].style.visibility = "visible"; } } </script> - (2016-05-31, v:0.38) Add support to Disqus
Thanks! - (2015-04-14, v:0.38) Kanne Ali: Add support to phpBB3 forums
A member on the phpBB3 forum missosology.info is harassing me and I'd like to block his comments on my threads. Could you add missosology.info to the extension or add support for phpBB3 forums in general? Thanks! - (2015-04-10, v:0.38) Cindi SS: help
