Make Codeforces Great Again
By lessmeaning, history, 5 years ago, In English

Tired of this?

Or this

Or even this

There is solution for you — cf comment filter. Download this google chrome extension and enjoy clear codeforces.

Details: install extension using this guide. Choose color in popup menu, and you won't see comments by users with rating strictly lower than this color (If there is some answer by high-rated user it won't be hidden).

Maybe I'll do some of following features in future: firefox add-on, customizable list of blocked users, hide blogs (doubt this one).

UPD

Fixed bug with "Headquarters".

What will happen to your extension during the magic period at the starting of the year? Will it still behave normally?

Will it block MikeMirzayanov's comments because he is unrated? Would be great if users can make a customized white list.

Awesome and handy tool.

When I choose lets say (blue) I still see comments from low rated users just because they mentioned a high-rated user, an example here.

Very nice work, I have been looking for this forever.

Codeforces has already had a tool that hide the heavly-downvoted comments, why would you open the hidden comments then get disturbed of them? Is the form of the hidden comments disturb you? so your tool should be depending on the quantity of downvotes, not on the color.

Tired of Codeforces lagging because of thousands of submissions? Here are separate servers just for elite Div1 users...

Seriously, I think comments by low-rated coders can be quite good. And who is going to answer their relevant questions if everybody with higher rating (and probably answers) will block them? I think we rather need a stupidity filter, which is not so impossible with current machine learning methods.

Monetize your tool by making low-rated users pay to be visible!

Is it possible for you to add the feature to hide users based on their Contribution like Let's if I want to hide all users having negative contribution? I think that can work as a better filter. Most times unnecessary/not useful comments are from the users with negative contribution.

    It's a bit harder to implement without calling cf api from extension (which is bad I think)

When are we getting a feature to hide blogs and comments by people suffering from superiority complex such as yours?

This is a great tool, but I don't think it would be that useful because let's say I don't understand some part of editorial, so what I do is scroll down to comments section, where someone have already asked the exact same query, I upvote the guy both happy, so to do the exact same thing I have to constantly turn on/off the feature.So, the tool is not serving its purpose.

Some changes that I have in mind you could also add some features like image block, comments with spam words (such as rip,orz), most important feature i think is you could add is comment length as a filter, also if someone(with good rating) replied to comment if it is already blocked, it would be visible for all, because that person who replied gave his time to explain to everybody. Also you could make the options multiple choice. Thank you for the awesome tool and great effort.

For me, it is interesting to see all the comments in English no matter it is good or not because it is also a way to practice English, and I think people with low ratings don't mean that they all leave meaningless comments so this is some kind of 'ratist' in my opinion.

Here's an idea, block people with higher amount of comments and lower amount of rating, like at some ratio or something. Generally people with many comments and low rating have useless stuff to say a lot of, and are doing more commenting than practicing, while someone with few comments and lower rating will only comment reasonable responses/questions and will likely improve to higher rating soon.

Is this also just an excuse to complain about those types of accounts ;). Yes.

Well, it would be better if comments with more than 50(a customizable number) upvotes is always shown.

    I just came here to write this thing only to notice that this has already been suggested. I second this and also would like to propose a addition that just like a comment is not shown when of a color below rating, similar thing should be with the downvotes too (I know codeforces does it but completely hiding the comment is much better than just blurring it).

    lessmeaning Is there a possibility of this being in the near future ?
