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

Can stompies see who we're filtering? Can stompies be filtered? I think the admin login should be exempt from filtering, at any rate.

Am I being a jerkface-making-things-complex?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

It does now.

OMG, you guys are fancy. That was seriously a mostly-idle question.

Not having has never been the thing I've regretted most in my life. Not trying is.

I agree that admins cannot be filterable.

Also agree that you guys RAWK. Just FTR.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I think admins should be filterable.

Shouldn't be allowed to filter, though. Not that that needs to be in code.

However, user id 1, "admin" should be unfilterable.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

I'm looking forward to seeing how the MARCIE filter works. Personally, I can't think of anyone I'd want to put on full-time MARCIE, but there might be times I'd use it when three or four people are conducting a conversation I'd prefer not to read.

Done.

Rob - I think the threadsuck should have the option of blocking or not blocking. It should be a checkbox like the "mark as read" thingie.

Sounds good. It's more than a one-line change, though, so it will have to wait until I've got a few hours to dedicate to the task.

I was going to offer to code the threadsuck before you got all showoff-ey. :P

I wouldn't have time until this weekend at the earliest, so go for it if you have time before then.
