Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Me too. It's somehow less, I dunno, harsh.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Sounds harsher to me, personally.

I kind of just like "User Filter", and then "blinvisible" gives it that touch of whimsy. (Not, alas, a touch of Wimsey.)

Shit's all sorts of different now.

YEah. My mom and grampa would call us Bozo when were being not good, but not really bad either. Either that or Turkey.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

Thumbs up, apart from the top-of-the-screen thing that's already being talked about.

Right. Best not to tiptoe. It'll never happen, but I wish it were FUCKO FILTER.

I mean, it is what it is.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies

I'm with Dana. If you care about it having a nice name, I think Bozo is not the way to go.

Does the name really matter? Does it appear in the screen? How does a filtered post appear?

Is there an example?

It only appears to the person filtering. Like this, except without the MARCIE terminology, plus links, and in teeny little font in place of the user's tag:

This post rendered blinvisible by MARCIE.
Temporarily view this post.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Allyson, this is a screenshot from the test, taken as a joke about how peaceful bureau could end up being.

What I'd like is to have "this post is inblisible" without the MARCIE reference -- it doesn't need to have a brand name on it at all. Whatever we decide, it needn't be big and intrusive, as you can see.

What is even happening?

I hate Bozo, and MARCIE. ENUF is okay, because I guess, it's not a name. I still like either just user filter, or blinvisible. I think blinvisible is more fun.
