MessageBlocker

MessageBlocker is a script for Fandom Chat that is able to prevent all messages by a certain user, or set of users, from appearing.

This extension affects Chat on a personal level only. It does not interfere with messages as seen by other users.

Usage

Guide

User menu

To block or allow messages from a user, click on their name in the user list to bring down the user's drop down menu. The option is below the "Private Message" button.

Modal

There is a modal that lists all users currently blocked. This is accessible through the "MB" button and the !blocklist command.

The modal has a button to clear the list of banned users.

Commands

MessageBlocker has the following text commands. To use them, insert the command into the text pane, and press Enter:

• !blocklist - opens a modal that lists blocked users
• !block - block a user
  • !block Dzylon will block Dzylon
• !unblock - unblock a user
  • !unblock FandomBot will unblock FandomBot

Notes

• Messages posted by users with chatmod rights cannot be blocked with this script. This includes local administrators, staff, Fandom Helpers and VSTF members.
• The script stores data for blocked users in localStorage. Thus, users can't be blocked across wikis.
• The script also does not block PMs from users, as Chat can do this.
