Not working for me

/**** CONFIG ********************/
window.ao3hellban = {

showToggle: true,
// set to false if you don't want to see a count of hidden comments & toggle ability

blacklist: [
// 'GUEST:*', // uncomment this if you want to block comments by all guest users
// '##GUEST:Bender', // uncomment if you want to block guest user who signs as 'Bender'
'Sakura', // block an archive user called 'Sakura'
'Jar Jar Binks'
]
/********************************/

I removed the # symbols from "Guest" and even added the guest name, but the comments from this person, and other "guest", still show up. Am I doing something wrong? I just don't want to see the spam comments that is on every new work on a03.

Global guest ban was working, but you should not have removed the ##. That is part of the string and not a symbol for comments - "//" at the beginning of the line is what you need to remove to uncomment stuff.

Named guest ban was broken but is fixed now, grab the latest version.

Awesome!!! That works for blocking all guest comments! Thank you so much!

So if I wanted to block a specific guest name (say "Sakura") I would remove the "//" from "'##GUEST:Bender'" and changed Bender to Sakura?

'Jar Jar Binks'
]

Yes. You can add additional "##GUEST:whoever" lines too

Hmm, I tried to see if I could block an individual person, but it doesn't seem to work.

Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks again for your help!

I have tested it with "##GUEST:Sakura" on a page that had comments by a guest called Sakura, and they were blocked. My config block looked the same as yours.

I did find that @includes was missing a line for the /chapters* path, so I have added that - please update. If you were testing on pages under /chapters, then the script was never enabled on those pages, and that would be why your case was failing.

If your test page isn't under /chapters, but the script is still disabled, please let me know the page's path (full URL not necessary). There may be other places where comments appear which are also missing from @includes.

If the script is enabled but the case is still failing, then I don't think I can help further without some new info that would let me reproduce the problem. You could try to give me a real page URL. There doesn't seem to be any issue with the name "Sakura" in particular so you could pick a random name and random page where you can reproduce the problem and give me that, if you want to keep things anonymous.

So I'm currently testing it on this page (http://archiveofourown.org/works/1991601), it's always on full content view, and entering any individual that's in the comments doesn't work. I even tried the people that were a03 users signed on and it didn't work.

Blocking all guest comments work and I can show which comments are blocked afterwards too. I have the download buttons and saved filters script installed also, I don't think that could be interfering with it though.

Can you copy/paste your config with the sakura name it there? Maybe I'm deleting something or adding something that I'm not supposed to.

Thanks again for your work and help!
