Tie avatars to a directory specific to the user

Some people here find it very amusing to upload the most obnoxious avatars, so I use Adblock Plus to remove those avatars. Unfortunately, life isn’t that simple, and these people change their avatars. New avatars that I have to block again. The image directory for avatars is set up like this

As you can see, there’s no directory between users and the avatar, so the next best thing I could do would be to block all avatars, which I don’t favor doing. Life would be much easier if the directories were set up like this:

/users/userId/imageName.png

so that I could block all avatars uploaded by that person.

Edit: oops – wasn’t thinking and put this in web features – should be in the inception category.

What’s so bad that you want this? Also, whoever is pissing you off doing this just PM them, no need to make a whole feature about it.

Whyyy would they set this up specifically for you to use AdBlock, a plugin that I can guarantee you that ROBLOX does not appreciate?

This sounds like nothing more than a passive aggressive statement towards people with pictures you find obnoxious

I don’t think roblox cares

Echo, if you add it this way, it blocks that one person’s avatar no matter how many times they change it.

See that wildcard (*) in the middle filter in your original post? That’s what the wildcard does. Just gotta place it in the right spot. (:

Edit: I killed the thread by answering it, pls stop

Thank you mael – I had no idea the first portion of the file name was the user ID of that person. user IDs here are so different from the ones on the main site :frowning:

Because this is the internet, a place that knows no dignity. I’m more likely to get a flamebait response than I am a legible, mature response. There’s a good chance most, if not all, of the people I’ve blocked do this intentionally, so I’d gain nothing by PMing them.

I’m BC – I’m pretty sure ROBLOX doesn’t care if I block ads because I’m not shown any real ads in the first place. All I’m blocking are those user-made, completely out-of-place ads which know no quality standard at all, and I don’t think I’ll ever find myself wanting to view those.

“Whyyy would they set this up specifically for you”

As you can see (Mael’s post), I’m not the only one who uses Adblock – Stravant is another one off the top of my head (he went as far to block every avatar IIRC.) If you have BC, there’s no reason you shouldn’t use Adblock – at least on ROBLOX. It also removes all those scammy ads on random sites people tend to want to click, so it’s a win-win.

Aurarus’ avatar isn’t that bad… I don’t like it, but I don’t have anything against it.

All of a sudden it’s about me for no reason

External Media

/shrug

Write a user script which removes the user’s avatar then.

Your avatar’s the one the link in the OP goes to.
