Model Forum / General / Models / November 2007Google Groups Killfile?
I don't miss much about Compuserve USENET. However, I was easily able to kill file cross posting and other individuals who don't care or are afraid to focus his or her debate in something such as alt.politics. Am I missing a feature of Google Groups that will let me block these rude and or absurd people. I see many of them as the type who practice "free speech" on a restroom wall as opposed to going to town meetings or taking seminars. Anyway if Google Groups can block unwanted posts I am ready to learn. TIA Big Al > Albert wrote: > I don't miss much about Compuserve USENET.

Unfortunately I don't think Google groups has the kill file option. Believe me I've looked. ( That MI5 stuff gets very annoying ) I think the only thing you can do is go to ' options ' and then ' report this message ' and maybe Google would do something about a subscriber that has annoying post.

In the show he was called Snot Boogie, for obvious reasons. He liked playing dice but he always robbed the games. Cop at the scene asks the witness why they let him play if they knew he was going to stick up the game? Guy answers "Got to. This is America." Killfiles are unAmerican. > Killfiles are unAmerican. LOL So am I. And I wanna use them. I have to check this myself, but I remember some time back there was a thread about this, and the upshot was that it was possible to configure filters, I just do not remember where in one's accounts that was set.

Followup on this: it was not the accounts, it is necessary to install scripts in your browser. 1) For firefox/iceweasel, install Greasemonkey to run scripts, and then use the script from the link below: http://www.penney.org/ggkiller.html 2) For Internet Explorer, which I don't use, I found these pages: http://www.holysmoke.org/ggf/index.htm http://www.holysmoke.org/ggfbho/index.htm I use Opera, Konquerer, Epiphany, and Seamonkey, Iceape and so on as well, but don't know of any scripts written specifically for them. For the gecko-based browsers, I suspect with some small effort it is possible to get the Firefox scripts running there too. SignatureGernot Hassenpflug |
