I don't see this as a problem on the forum.
But if there are so many topics related to Musk, you can always create a section dedicated to topics about it.  Grin Roll Eyes Cool

Install uBlock Origin or any other adblocker that lets you add rules and add the following lines as custom filters to it:

Code:
##div>a:has-text(/Elon/)
##div>a:has-text(/elon/)
##div>a:has-text(/Musk/)
##div>a:has-text(/musk/)

It hides all DIVs (title entries or individual posts) that contain those words.
is this usable to other website on my browser? I also wanted to get rid of those shits from other sites as I've been still keep seeing them on my timelines, no. 1 is on twitter, I had to unfollow Musk and other stuffs but still the posts are there.

Wow, two newbies who created accounts on the forum about an hour and a half apart posting consecutively with shitposts.  Guess people really are still account farming these days.  


This character is sick, and he suffers from a split personality. It is naive to think that we will not notice his writing style. He loves to talk to himself, impersonating each of his accounts as different people.
The only thing I regret is that the moderators regretted Delight Media for plagiarism, and did not block him and his IP.

Until then, we will see this poster in META every day.

This thread should probably be locked at this point, since the Elon Musk threads have either died down or been moved to Off-Topic with the rest of the nonsense.  Keeping it open is only going to invite more garbage posts spewed out by members trying to get to Jr. Member so they can join bounties.

Elon musk every where. What so special about him? Because I see people taking him as something else. I have heard and read so much about him and I think the mod has to put his topic behind bar.

Things have gotten out of control. I wanted to read some topics and 90% of them are talking about Elon Musk directly or indirectly. Angry Angry Angry it is Bitcointalk not Elonmusk trolling.

If it is not available, then I hope that someone will create a userscript that hides the topics that carry certain words.

I think it's possible but it'll make things more complicated for the admin to implement the stuff if official being the case.
However, you can hire someone on freelancer to get some sort of script done in around 100-200$ easily.

Still this thread about Elon Musk. We can't or shouldn't prevent it. This is called freedom of speech. Just don't engage with such as discussion if you don't like it. Automatically you will not find any threads after a few days. Different users want to express different opinions, as a result, many threads have been creating. A few months ago there was many discussion about John McAfee, now all are gone. So the same thing will happen with Elon's thread as well. Better to ignore or use some other tools. We shouldn't expect something like hiding thread by words from the forum.

I've been able to add greasemonkey to the Tor browser, however, I can't seem to be able to add any scripts - the "new user script" button seems to be disabled in Tor (Firefox I'm able to add the script, however it too doesn't seem to want to work - that said, a "total merit sent and received on merit page" script is still ok on Firefox)

Well, its the influence of Elon Musk which is causing the price movement in bitcoin. So at the present moment, unfortunately we cannot discuss about the price movement in bitcoin without taking Elon Musk in consideration.
You can stop reading the threads which have Elon Musk in the title, but then Elon Musk is everywhere even in the WO thread.  Angry
Elon Musk have not done any harm rather he is man that knows how to play his game and he was doing his things to the favour of his self. Elon musk never sponsored anyone to write any topic about him in the thread  but I will advise forum member to jump over any topic concerning him without any further replies to stop the pandemonium going in the forum just because of one single whale

So after having Bitcoin Discussion board spammed with topics about Elon, we are on the way to get the same thing in Meta  Grin

I'm not against any discussion, even if it's as pointless as the typical Elon-Bitcoin topic. It's just that there should only be one topic, or at the very least two(completely depending on the subject). It's just that when Elon makes a dumb Tweet about Bitcoin, people here rush into creating topics hence why we see a lot of duplicates. Probably all we need is just to report the duplicates for merging into the main topic.

I'm not aware of any feature on Bitcointalk that allows you to filter out topics by title name. As for the userscript, enjoy (may contain bugs, use at your own risk, license: MIT license):

Code:
// ==UserScript==
// @name         Bitcointalk Board De-Musk-ifier
// @namespace    mprep
// @version      0.2
// @description  Attempts to filter out topics related to Elon Musk (or any other terms in the blacklist)
// @author       mprep
// @match        https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=*
// @grant        none
// ==/UserScript==

(function() {
    'use strict';
    ////////////////////////////////////////////// Blacklisted terms  //////////////////////////////////////////////////////
    //                   (add or remove terms to update blacklist; save the userscript after doing so)                    //
    //                            (must be lowercased, only letters, numbers and underscore)                              //

    let blacklist = ["elon", "musk", "tesla"];

    ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////


    let allTopics = document.querySelectorAll("[id^='topic_'] [id^='msg_'] a");
    for (let i = 0; i < allTopics.length; i++)
    {
        let topicTitleWords = allTopics[i].innerText.replace(/[^\w\s]/gi, '').toLowerCase().split(' ');
        for (let u = 0; u < blacklist.length; u++)
        {
            if (topicTitleWords.includes(blacklist[u]))
            {
                allTopics[i].closest("tr").remove();
                break;
            }
        }
    }
})();

Patience, like any (useless) hype, it will die off and I expect (hope?) that it'll happen soon.
So just a little more time and you won't need those  Smiley


PS. Maybe we should also start reporting the topics as duplicates...

I think it would be very good for the mods to bring some order to Bitcoin Discussion, there is no logic for 5 different users to open an almost identical topic - the thing is very simple, leave only the one that is open first and delete the others. Some have definitely gone overboard with this topic, and we need one moderator in a good mood to sweep Mr.Musk where he belongs - maybe in Off-topic?
