Do these all not need quotes around them?
~snip
The ones with the spaces need quotes, and as for those that are without spaces, my linter has automatically removed quotes. Might fix in the future, thanks.
Maybe you should add the scores instead if someone has a spam y signature but a good post record then they don't need to be hidden.
You can always whitelist any user. Going through someone's posthistory every time you load a thread or maintaining databases for that would add too much complexity.
I've tuned it to hide only very short posts from low-merited users by default.
You mean like one line replies or what. Beside a post can be short and still be meaningful. And if I use your script I'll be preventing myself from seeing those type of post to merit them and increase that user chances of ranking up & becoming a high merit earner like yourself.
But most of the time it's not. This addon is not for everyone, but I saw that people were interested in another addon that indiscriminately hides all posts with sig ads, and it only used default merit for scoring, so I've decided to improve this idea, and have implemented another requested feature from that thread (whitelist).
Spammers usually have bad writing skills and their replies contain grammatical errors and spelling mistakes. Maybe an option to check the posts for such errors could be a good addition.
For example:
8 spelling mistakes in the post = spammer
I think spammers usually have broken broken grammar and not spelling, because they use google translate. But the idea is interesting, I'll try to implement it. Thanks for the suggestion!
