Block Politics Forum?

[EmmAgain]

V sorry for this dumb question but is there any way to block the whole politics forum from the ‘new posts’ feed? Some of the stuff there is just…. ugh.

There is no way to block any particular forum in its entirety.

The easiest solution is to start putting the OP on ignore. Especially the ones who seem to start the most threads.

Thank you! The stuff there makes Facebook look like the Athenian Agora. Really takes away from the mood.

So glad you asked that question! I’ll be happily blocking the noisiest of them.

I'm like you...I come here to get clear of all that. Totally sympathize.

It is an open sewer.

You don't have to go on the forum in the first place, so I don't understand why this is an issue.

Even the topic headline thingies are pretty vile sometimes.

I also want to block it. I find it strange that we’re on an erotic reading and community website where folks insist on explaining what they did on Facebook.

I am totally with you, sometimes when I take a break from here, part of it is because of the Politics Forum. The headlines makes me depressed and so many of them are just such horrible hateful people and it just breaks me.

It’s completely exhausting to not go 1 week without the news cycle blowing up.

This essay ultimately ends with the idea that none of this is as ground breaking as we’re told to believe. The author’s thrust is that in time, we’re all going to be exposed to drama.

Ventured through that section a few times and really regretted it.

I can't do much if you use lit on mobile, but if you do use it on a Desktop Browser

My solution is a script ~
Does not require a lot of technical knowledge, I assume you're on the internet and can navigate and read the names lol

The script itself is just looking for the ID's and element ID that correlate and reference the politics board and removes it from showing up from the forum list and "What's new"
You can still end up on the politics board if you click on a link to it ~

This is just the "friendly version" of the script, I use a more aggressive block that doesn't load that page so lol~

Anyways, back to the "solution" lol~

Download the Tamper-monkey extension from the extension store

On Chrome, u will have to do some changes
1. You will have to enable developer mode on the top right of the "Manage Extensions" page for the script to run on the page,
2. Click on Details on the Tampermonkey extension, scroll down and enable the setting "Allow User Scripts"
3. Then, you open the extension from the extension menu -> Create a new script -> Paste the below script -> Ctrl+ S to save it
4. Refresh your loaded Literotica page

( If you use incognito mode on Chrome, its going to be a temporary script )

On Firefox, its a lot easier, just download the extension and go straight to step 3 after giving it necessary permission xD

Here's the "bare-bones" script lol~

// ==UserScript==
// @name         Block Politics Board
// @namespace    http://tampermonkey.net/
// @version      1.0
// @description  Hide the Politics Board section and any threads tagged with Politics Board
// @author       V
// @match        https://*forum.literotica.com/*
// @grant        none
// ==/UserScript==

(function() {
    'use strict';

    function removePoliticsBoard() {
        document.querySelectorAll('a').forEach(link => {
            if (link.textContent.trim() === "Politics Board") {
                let node = link.closest('.node');
                if (node) node.remove();
            }
        });
        let specificNode = document.querySelector('.node--id67');
        if (specificNode) specificNode.remove();
    }

    function removePoliticsThreads() {
        document.querySelectorAll('.structItem').forEach(item => {
            if (item.querySelector('a[href="/forums/politics-board.67/"]')) {
                item.remove();
            }
        });
    }

    function runAll() {
        removePoliticsBoard();
        removePoliticsThreads();
    }

    runAll();

    const observer = new MutationObserver(runAll);
    observer.observe(document.body, { childList: true, subtree: true });
})();

Forum Page
Without the script
With the script

What's New Page
Without the Script
With the Script

Yes, it will work on the Modern UI too, I'm blocking on page element basis so it doesn't matter
So there is way, just not very simple, well it is, but probably not lol~
