  1. Data Collection Pass (First Pass)

The script first iterates through all elements with the class .post to collect data about the users:

 

Identifies Users: It extracts the unique ID (e.g., posteruid) associated with each post.

 

Maps IDs: It creates an idMap object to track every post made by a specific user ID.

 

Adds Post Count: It modifies the HTML to display a small, grey count next to the poster's ID (e.g., (5)) indicating the total number of posts that ID has made on the page.

 

  1. Filtering and Styling Pass (Second Pass)

The script performs a second pass to apply a series of independent filters and visual changes:

 

A. Noise Reduction Filters (Hiding Posts)

These filters directly set post.style.display = 'none' to hide content that is likely spam or noise:

 

ID:000000 Cap (Anon/Spam Filter): Hides all but the first post from the ID:000000 user (a common placeholder for anonymous or high-volume spam accounts).

 

High-Volume Spammer Filter: Hides all posts from any ID that has posted more than 12 times on the current page. This aggressively targets users "flooding" the thread.

 

Duplicate Content Filter: Hides any post whose hashed, normalized text content is an exact duplicate of a post already seen. This eliminates copy-paste spam.

 

Excessive Height Filter: Hides any post that is visually too long (taller than MAX_POST_HEIGHT, set to 1000 pixels), targeting large, potentially unreadable, wall-of-text posts.

 

Language Filter: Hides any post that is determined not to be "Likely English" (based on a ratio of recognized English words in the first 500 characters).

 

B. Micro-Sizing Visual Feature

This section applies a unique hover effect to certain posts:

 

Target: Posts made by a user who has only made one post total on the page (a "single post ID") OR posts made by a user who is not named 'Anonymous'.

 

Action: It scales the post down to 10% of its size (scale(0.1)) and reduces its opacity to 50%.

 

Interaction: When the user mouses over the tiny post, it smoothly scales back up to full size (scale(1)) and full opacity, making it readable. This minimizes the visual space taken up by non-anonymous or one-off posts until the user chooses to view them.

 

In essence, the code is a sophisticated client-side moderation script that prioritizes displaying a cleaned-up thread focused on unique content and moderate posting volume, while visually de-emphasizing highly repetitive or excessive contributions.

 

funny how those who scream the most for liberty are the first to propose limiting it for others
