I use my blacklist to block banned accounts so I don't see their comments

but this user that was perma banned on 2023-05-18 15:52 by moderator Donovan DMC doesn't go away!

It usually works immediately after I update the block list but this user just won't go away no matter what I do!

Can someone help?

Tried the user number? On it's own line? :/

If you're fine with installing a userscript, this will delete all comments by blocked users without needing your blacklist:

// ==UserScript==
// @name         e621 Blocked user comment blocker
// @namespace    e621blocked.comment
// @version      0.1
// @description  Blocks all blocked user comments
// @author       DefinitelyNotAFurry4
// @match        https://e621.net/posts/*
// @icon         https://www.google.com/s2/favicons?sz=64&domain=e621.net
// @run-at       document-end
// ==/UserScript==

(function() {
    'use strict';

    for (let comment of document.querySelectorAll(".comment:has(.user-blocked)")) {
        comment.remove();
    }
})();

What should input to remove him using the user number?

You've got an exclamation mark instead of a number

That's how you use ids in blacklists/searching according to https://e621.net/help/cheatsheet

that's the syntax for uploads by userID. look, here's NMNY's uploads user:!17633.

ah

i apologize for being silly

Huh, how would you blacklist/search their uploads if their name is just !<numbers>? for example, !23
and id 23 belongs to LadyFuzztail
Edit: So you can't blacklist Fuzztail by id, so if they were to change their name slightly every week, they can evade blacklist

You'd probably have to use user:!199501 which is their actual user id.

Oh, so not user:199501? Hmm, the ! is to force numeric . I believe this was listed in a patch a few months back? I forgot about it if so.

https://e621.net/wiki_page_versions/diff?otherpage=137507&thispage=132244 I was gonna say... Yeah, the other article got updated as well.

you do have the blacklist users setting turned on, right? it's directly under the blacklist in settings.

Yep

The - in their name is fucking it up. I tested this theory against some other users and also failed to blacklist them with either their name or user ID.

Eww, that sounds like a parsing bug. I wonder if it's some interaction with the - (negation) handler for tags.
