Updates:

1) Automatically removes all known spam posts (nullo spam, trump spammer and others).

2) Works on all desktop browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Edge) and even mobile. I'll cover how to install below.

3) Removes not only the post itself but the preview post (at the top of the page) as well. It's like the spam never happened.

Here's the source code if you'd like to take a look: https://pastebin.com/09HFVxUL

To install on desktop, follow the steps in this post: http://xoxohth.com/thread.php?thread_id=5324124&mc=39&forum_id=2

For mobile, the installation is a bit more involved but I have validated it on Safari and iOS specifically. To install for Safari, follow these steps:

1) Download and install the Userscripts app from the App Store on your device: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/userscripts/id1463298887

2) Open the Userscripts app, choose "Set Userscripts Directory." Click the three dots on the top right and select "New folder" and name it something like "Scripts." Choose open to set the script directory for Userscripts.

3) Go to https://pastebin.com/09HFVxUL and select download at the top to download the script to your device. Once the file is downloaded, select "Open in" and then "Save to Files" and save it in the Scripts folder you created in Step 2.

4) Now, open Safari. Select the AA icon in the address bar and select Manage Extensions and then enable Userscripts. You'll receive a security prompt and you'll have to select something like "enable for all sites."

5) Visit a thread ruined by nullo spam and you should see the script remove all the posts and preview posts. Example: http://xoxohth.com/thread.php?thread_id=5323020&mc=20&forum_id=2

That's it.

Unfortunately Google doesn't support extensions on the mobile version of Chrome, so out of luck there. There are also apps that run user scripts on Android but I don't have one so haven't tested it yet.

Can you add a feature where we can have posts by people we despise not show up, e.g. psycho Karen, Obeezy, etc.?

I will look into the feasibility of a feature that allows you to block posts by certain users. However, off the top of my head, there are some challenges with that given that users can rapidly change their name AND xo anonymizes posts after a few months.

Chrome doesn't support extensions, but Kiwi Browser on Android does. I've got extensions for bypassing the NYT paywalls and now I have the nullospam-killer. Works great.

Having read the code, it seems like this works by searching each thread for a small extract of the spam post. Would be easy to circumvent this by spammers changing their spam very slightly (e.g. adding extra space).

Yes, absolutely. However there are more sophisticated strategies to mitigate that if it starts happening.

We could simply remove any post over a certain number of characters to eliminate long spam posts that make scrolling annoying. Or we could use a library that checks for text similarity (e.g. https://www.npmjs.com/package/string-similarity ), as was mentioned in the other thread.

A less computationally intensive way to do this would be to search for 4 or 5 random substrings of the nullo post.

Could work but that's assuming the spammer doesn't just add spaces between every character or something similar.

If they can then they should. This is just a client side solution that reduces the impact of spammers. I’m a long time poster and thought it would be a fun project given that spam is so common on here now.
