I don't particularly like Codinghorror, but I'm not in favour of having it banned. I would however like a mechanism to filter out stories from certain domains.

- tokenadult 18y agoI would however like a mechanism to filter out stories from certain domains. The human eye can serve as that mechanism if the parenthetical label of the submitted article's domain is unique to one author or group of authors. (E.g., google.com as a source domain doesn't help me at all in filtering articles, but techcrunch.com does.) I read HN selectively, depending on what the source of submitted articles is. For the record, I like reading some of the codinghorror.com articles submitted here.
- turtle3 18y agoThe whole point of technology is to eliminate mindless, repetitive tasks like looking at a domain, comparing it to our black-list, and ignoring it. Sure, it only takes a second, but how many times do you visit hn? How many articles do you have to parse before you have wasted time? Letting hn users specify their own domain black-lists can be implemented trivially, and saves a ton of time, in aggregate. I agree with the grand-parent post.
