I wrote a browser extension for myself to "block" users on this board. It's just a list of username -> reason,evidence_url,action records, where "action" is either "make text invisible" or "make text harder to read (the cdd style that HN uses for flagged comments)". It makes the board much better.

Not that I would ever use it.

Is it available somewhere? Sounds useful

Sounds like way too much customization for an ad-free and free message board.
