you shouldn't use a loaded word like censorship if you're going to use it incorrectly (or spell it incorrectly). censorship isn't a personal choice, it's made by other people. for example:
keeping a story out of the news: censorship
not watching the news: not censorship
this is a person by person option to opt-out of having to read shitty users' posts in a thread. it isn't keeping people from posting. do you know who else used to use loaded phrases on the internet to blow things out of proportion? HITLER.

it's kind of crazy that it took 2 1/2 years for one annoying as fuck user to drive someone to create this script. and i think it's a much... healthier? option than this:

Because 1) the mods already know. trust me. The mods use this site just like the rest of us, and they get annoyed by annoying as fuck posters just like the rest of us. The users might have already gotten warnings for all we know. But then again, I'm a dick on here (albeit, with a purpose) and no one's warned me.
But really, 2) taking action against a shitty member is much closer to censorship than just ignoring a member. I would love to see some members banned for acting like retards. But in my heart I know that's not right. So I'll be quietly ignoring them using this script instead.
