Comments on many tech forums often descend into an ill-mannered slanging match. Insults and ad-hominen attacks abound, with (no doubt overworked) forum admins seemingly unable to halt the abuse.
So, I put together this extension together to block such trolls.
And as one person's "troll" is another person's "heroic fighter for the good cause", you get to define who your particular list of trolls are. Think of this as an old-style email kill list, but for forums rather than for your inbox.
New TrollPeak Feature!
====================
As of version 0.35. For those weak moments when you can't help yourself! TrollPeak allows you take a sneaky look at what the troll said, but without having to unblock him.
Forum Troll Stomper currently works with the following forums:
* zdnet.com
* pcpro.co.uk
* cnet.com
I can adapt to work with other forums on request. Just let me know via the Feedback link.
Developer note: the extension cannot block comments that load inside an iFrame. That's why I had to remove the ComputerWorld and PCPro options.

Extore is a team of professionals who are passionate about creating extensions for web browsers. This devotion also gives us opportunity to appreciate work of other people. We get inspired by useful, open source extensions made by developers all over the world. Our strong belief is that one should share helpful add-ons with others. That’s why we’d like to present you our ever-growing list of favourite extensions that have inspired us. Moreover, as you probably have already learned, sometimes struggling for the best brings an end to the good. Talking about add-ons it often turns out that an upgrade is worse then previous version. Also it can become really tricky to get back to the beloved version of your favourite extension. That’s why we’re going to make not only the latest, but all versions of our favourite (and we hope yours too) add-ons available for download. No more compromises, just stick to the version you really like!
