Phrased like that, I have a great deal of sympathy, although rather than do
without Roy's posts, I'd prefer to do without the rest, if you see what I
mean?
However, as soon as a get one of those circular tuit things, I reckon that I
ought to be able to do almost anything from knode, and it's presumably the
same in other readers.
I believe that one can (comment appreciated!):-
- set up (as now) a kill-file filter, which filters out any Ignore threads,
together with anyone who gets their score reduced due to my filtering.
- in addition, I believe that I can specify a second filter to show ONLY
those posts containing [News]. This can(?) be done by setting the score of
[News] posts to a specific value, and filtering on that value, can it not?
e.g. Ignore gives a score of -100
Anybody kill-filed gets a score of -20
Roy's [News] posts score -10
Now "killfile on" shows everything except Ignored and kill-filed (show
everything above -11)
"Roy" shows everything containing [News] only (scores of exactly -10).
"Normal" shows everything except kill-filed, ignored or [News] (>= 0 scores)
That's probably not very well expressed, but am I right?
