Here's an idea: Don't bump shitposts, hide them instead

I see quite a few people posting angry comments in threads they consider to be worthless trolls, aka shitpots. Instead of commenting there and bumping these threads to the top of the forum, how about staying out and letting them sink to oblivion?

Update, Oct 30: A good way to avoid the temptation to comment on shitposts is to hide them instead. Thanks Praxa for noting that ESGST has this option. Here's how to do it:

1. If you don't have ESGST script installed, get it here
2. After installation, click the ESGST button at the top of the page to open the script settings
3. Scroll to Discussions (section #4) and enable both "Discussion Filters" and "Enable the option to hide discussions"
4. When you see a discussion that you don't want to waste your time on, click the Eye icon to hide it. You can always unhide it from the Hidden Discussions management panel (open the script settings and click this button)

YOBA
