  12. // Jerks are everywhere, StackOverflow is no exception. There are idiots who
  13. // wear their political badges everywhere, who take to their SO USERNAMES and
  14. // AVATARS to deliver their crappy political propagenda, and in some cases they
  15. // succeed in distracting me from the programming questions I'm looking at. (I
  16. // don't give a s**t to profiles. It's fine as long as it's out of my way.)
  17. //
  18. // SO moderators keep saying you should report instead of finding a way to
  19. // blacklist. I call bullshit. First, there's no consensus on whether political
  20. // propaganda should or should not be allowed in SO usernames and
  21. // avatars. Secondly, what *I* find annoying or distracting might not be so to
  22. // others, and certainly may not be violating community guidelines (re no
  23. // consensus). Thirdly, arguing with moderators is time consuming, and who
  24. // knows if reporting sensitive matters would lead to retaliation or
  25. // not. Therefore, the perfect solution is to exercise power and judgement on
  26. // the client side, at the cost of some CPU cycles and memory.
  27. //
  28. // This script hides the usernames and avatars of users of your choice from all
  29. // questions, answers, edits, and comments. All content about programming is
  30. // left untouched, so it has minimal side effects on things that you actually
  31. // care about.
