Thank you shahzadafzal. I don't have an extensive ignore list. So, I don't know what the problem is. But, As theymos wanted to work on it, I believe the issue still exists, and many users may have it. Your replay deserves a single thread in Meta board if it works currently. I have a question, How is this script going to work? Will it erase the full ignore list? What if someone wants to clear a specific number of users? I don't know how many people an average person wants to ignore. But having more than 2K people on ignore list is already too big. I guess I've ignored less than 10 people so far.

Yes it will clear the whole list, actually it's quick solution for those who are not even able to load the page.

Yes if it's useful it be can customized to Add/Remove specific users but we don't need it, since the actual functionality is already working fine and can be done from the screen.


Where did you find those 20K users? I am curious if all of them are bounty hunters!

hahaha secret.

@gadman2 If it works for you. Let us know. Unfortunately, you won't have to bump this thread again after another year. Also, whoever has an extensive ignore list can try this script.

Where is this guy called Power Glow?😉 He can fix this problem in a few days max.
If Op had saved 1 bitcoin for each ignored member he would be bumping other things than this topic. But I like it and we all should learn from him, lesson is to never expect theymos to waste time on such unimportant problems.

@Op, I hope you live another 1000 years but eventually, [insert skeleton behind a computer desk meme here]. Good luck.

Well for the sake of testing i have added 20000 users to my ignore list and its working fine. Although after clicking Change Profile button i got Cloudflare error but my ingore list was updated.

On veiwing ingore list it;s partially loaded every time you click Ignore user options link. Some times it's showing 5000 user, sometimes 10k and sometime 16k but looks like it's updated.

However IF you want to clear your ignore list you can run below script and it will clear your ignore list



WARNING: This script will clear your ignore list
Code:
(async () => {
const decoder = new TextDecoder('windows-1252')
let lastReq

const fetchThrottled = async (url, ...rest) => {
        const timeRemaining = lastReq ? lastReq.getTime() + 1000 * 1 - new Date().getTime() : 0
        if (timeRemaining > 0) {
            await new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, timeRemaining))
        }
        lastReq = new Date()
        return await fetch(url, ...rest)
    }

 const getSesc = async () => {
        const html = await fetchThrottled('https://bitcointalk.org/more.php').then(async response => decoder.decode(await response.arrayBuffer()))
        return html.match(/https\:\/\/bitcointalk\.org\/index\.php\?action=logout;sesc=(.*?)"\>/)?.at(1)
    }

const editIgnoreList = async (userID, sesc) => {
        const formData = new FormData()
        formData.append('ign_ignore_list', '')
        formData.append('userID', String(userID))
        formData.append('sa', 'ignprefs')
        formData.append('sc', sesc)
        formData.append('goback', String(1))
        const { redirected } = await fetchThrottled(`https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile2`, {  method: 'POST', body: formData })
        return redirected
    }

let u = '0000000' //<-------- Replace your userId
const sesc = await getSesc()
const done= await editIgnoreList(u,sesc)
console.log(done)
location.href ='https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;sa=ignprefs';
})()

Steps:
1. Replace the '0000000' userid with your own usersid in the above code e.g. let u = '0000000'
2. Login to bitcointalk
3. Stay on the page (any page)
4. Go to developer console (Press F12)
5. Copy Paste the code in the console and press Enter (after changing your the userid)


P.S. This code is heavly inspired by TryNinja's this script

I had a good laugh, to be honest. Yeah, PowerGlove can fix errors. Not sure if he would play with the code, which theymos ignored for six years. Of course, every bit of improvement is appreciated. Since I've mentioned his name, If he uses Notification Bot, He will get notified about this thread. He is active on Meta Board, I guess he will notice this thread since it's already bumped.

The Fact is coding is not easy. I wonder why programmers spend their precious time writing free scripts. The answer is an open secret. Sometimes they leave some bug on those scripts willingly, and the script user needs him to fix it. To fix those bugs, users have to pay the developer! Of course, this is not the case with SMF software.

6 years. Record for longest legitimate unsolved problem???

See you in a year Smiley

How is it a "problem" if you're not using the forum? I've had the same issue for at least 3 years but I don't really care. If you think that's a problem, wait until you hear about the donations received for new forum software in 2015, lol.

Not much hopeful about the execution time if it will be updated or not. We all know theymos :-D

Anyway, The list must be very long and after certain number it started to show the error. I am curious to know at what point do you get this error, I mean when did you start to see the error?

This forum uses PHP so can't the max script execution time setting be increased to larger than whatever the current value is (PHP uses 30 seconds by default, not sure if theymos manually increased this), so that you just wait longer without timing out?

I had that problem once found that the only thing you can do is manually unignore users, one at a time, when you see their posts are ignored. Eventually this will lower the list to a manageable number. I did successfully do this once, but I've blown way past the limit again and don't care anymore.

It's not my trust list. It's my ignore list. I assume that's what you meant. Either way that may allow me to see my ignore list, but at some point the problem will return so it's not a permanent solution.

It actually takes a lot of time before situations are attended to on the forum
I don't really know if it's due to the plethora of work to be done everyday on the forum

And it's been a while we actually saw theymos comment on this thread

You've really kept up with your request,as you've been asking for updates for over a year plus now...
Lol..

Hopefully something will be done soon

Why would there be a need to view your ignore list?

Are you saying we should ignore it? Smiley

Not at all. My question was very real.  What is the purpose of viewing it?  I just don't see why you would need to see the list.

If the option to view the list is broken then yes it should be fixed...But what's the point of that option?



Manually editing the list is probably the main reason.

Still 502 for me, though Cloudflare stupidly serves its own error page instead of the forum's, so no additional information on this error is available. Undecided

AFAIK, this was taken care of when Theymos stopped calculating the trust scores of each person in the list.

The trust scores were nice though, so I hope he implements a pagination system.

My ignore list is completely empty, but I do ignore (skip over) certain types of post or thread.

- Anyone who posts entirely in capitals.
- Repeated topics with more than about 50 replies.
- Threads with poor english in the title
- Capitalised titles
- coloured or italic text

and a few more things [like anybody named Bruno].

He has to re-write the SMF (OLD) forum to accommodate one user who is using the forum in a demanding and unusual manner ?

Hmm reminds me off when the NOOB section was abandoned or Giveaways were banned.

But what kind of weirdo adds hundreds of people to the ignore list ?
ahhh...
The same OP here who has a script that posts comments here that says "bump"
That he admits he doesn't even read the topic or comments posted on it.  Cheesy

Hey i put all of the forum on my friends list and now it won't load for me.. fix it !

Is it fixed yet ?

Well ?

i'm waiting.. Is it fixed yet ?

I only have scripted bumps on only two threads (of the nearly 750k spam topics on this board): my business and my own anti-paid signature campaign. I politely ask for an update (not a bump) manually on this thread and others alike, which apparently bothers you. My apologies, I guess... I read every comment and only reply to the ones not like yours. I reply to posts that are constructive or that can be critically debated without the typical attacking internet hatred that quite literally all of your posts fall into if we want to point out post histories. I'll make an one time exception for your hissy fit, though.

It's not just one user, and in any case it's not unusual to ignore thousands of kooks and spammers. It's not like you're the only one here, you know.

Also, there are several 504 errors happening not just from an ignore list. I would guess they are all coming fromsome traffic mitigation/anti DDOS software and could be tweaked a little bit. I don't think this happens on other forums. I believe this is custom software so SMF itself is safe, just the custom software needs revamped. I'm not entirely sure though.
