As far as removing Poli? Not happening. As one of the oldest remaining forums on the web, this site has a LOT of history as to why and how changes were made. I believe Poli was one the last added and it was in response to issues in the General Board.

As far as I'm concerned, both of those need Mods, but Admin thinks otherwise.

Can you imagine moderating the PB?!? That would be a full time job! The GB is much tamer than it used to be.

That's a big reason why it was split off.

I will not read a story in NC/Reluctance (reminds me too much of rape), but I just ignore that category, as when I search for new stories, I search by category, not by the new story tab.

But you're talking story category which you never have to click on. The Op is talking forum so if you look down the forum home page they needn't see the top posts which in one forum in particular can piss you off.

We're all different, I can unsee something to a degree, some can't. Its not a good or bad thing, just whatever works for you.

The GB calmed down because the politics were moved from it. I remember Laurel taking a lot of BS over it because they wanted to aggravate everyone, not be put in their own box.

I find PB to be out right scary. Two opposing factions who would literally defend their side killing someone and wouldn't give credit to the other side if they cured cancer.

As someone who's a centrist and pro person/anti party, its disturbing.

Those topics are posted across multiple forum sections, so blocking one would not accomplish much.

Seeing headlines - WOMEN WHO LOVE BBC - and BLACK COCKS THAT TURN WHITE BOYS BI, every time i click on the what's new in the forums - detracts from my enjoyment of the site.

I am not asking to remove them, like I said before if its their thing, then good luck to them. But I dont want to see it if i can possibly avoid doing so. Having a Block - would allow me to block the forums that are posting those headlines, and pretty soon I'l block all of those didnt want to see.

This would also have the advantage of having more of what i DID want to see displayed on each page

I think if you go to the thread that you are unhappy with and block the thread starter then you will no longer see the thread.

That seems to work - its not perfect - because It means i'm missing things from that poster i might want to see - but as an interim measure its awesome thanks.

It seems like it would far be easier for the site owner to enable a “block forum category” function that is already an optional feature in the forum software than it would be to separate existing story categories into new headings.

LongDraw · Mar 5, 2023

No need to block threads based on them using the term BBC. Just need the tried and true method of the progressives of censoring "misinformation". Ta da!

Email to Manu requesting this sent 28 February, no response as yet. Kinda makes me feel super special

I was advised to send a PM to Manu requesting this, I did this Tuesday 28 Febuary 2023 at 2:18 PM. I have not heard anything back yet....

One month later and still no response

ToPleaseHim · Mar 29, 2023

I would not expect a response. Consider this forum and even the PM box like a suggestion box.

False. It's been over a year now with no response.

Figure that there won't be one.

you, or others, name specific thread titles that annoy the shit out of you. An idea might be to put those thread starters on ignore; that might stop those threads showing up in new posts listings but i'm not sure. worth a try for you, though, no?

jaF0 · Mar 29, 2023

It isn't thread titles or posters. It's entire forum sections/categories.

I'd kinda like to block the Author's Hangout, Role Play and Sexual Role Play among others.

Some would prefer to block the Political Forum and General Board.

When a Litster has "Loves Spam" on their sig does it mean they're banned? Just been tidying up my iggy list and noticed that.

jaF0 · Mar 29, 2023

Sorta kinda. Those showing it are, but lots are that aren't showing it.

Mom doesn't always change them to that member group after showing them the door.

Cool thanks. I didn't want to overload the iggy filter unnecessarily

I would LOVE this feature. I can't stay away from the PB sometimes.

And counting.

2 months and still nuthing. From what I read on other threads lots of people want this.

It may not be as simple as activating an option that's available in the base software. The forum has bridges that connect it to the story side, and they don't always play well together. For example, changing your ava from the forum functions proved troublesome, which is why it's now done on the story side.

Making any change to the way things are currently, ( stable ) means being prepared to deal with the potential fallout of the change. Manu may just have too much on his plate at the moment updating the story side to conform with the draconian demands of our digital overlord Google right now. At some point in the future when he needs a break/palate cleanser, a tweak like this is something that might be in the cards. It might work right out of the box with a simple flip of a switch in the settings, but it could also cause a cascade of issues that he'll need to have the time to deal with.

Noted, I have it on good authority that it is a simple config change

While we are waiting for this feature to be implemented (ha!), here is a GreaseMonkey script that can do it for you.
This does not shift items up from the next page, it just hides the existing ones that match.


// ==UserScript==
// @name        Literotica New Posts Blocker
// @namespace   /users/me
// @include     https://forum.literotica.com/whats-new/*
// @version     1
// @grant       none
// ==/UserScript==

var forumsToBlock=['Politics Board','The Playground'];
var divs=document.getElementsByClassName('structItem');//list of new posts
var lnks;
var i,j,k,block;
for(i=divs.length-1;i>=0;i--) {//work backwards
  block=0;
  lnks=divs[i].getElementsByTagName('A');//find <a> tags
  for(j=0;j<lnks.length;j++) {
    for(k=0;k<forumsToBlock.length;k++) {
      if(lnks[j].innerHTML==forumsToBlock[k]) block=1;//found a match
    }
  }
  if(block==1) divs[i].parentNode.removeChild(divs[i]);//remove div
}

What is a usage example?
