Question: Help Me Kill MeFites

Please help me to get a/any MetaFilter killfile greasemonkey script working.

I've tried several MetaFilter killscripts, and none of them work for me.
I use Windows2000, behind a corporate firewall. I'm running Firefox 1.5.0.2. I have installed greasemonkey, and am running the most current version. I've tried at least three MeFi killscripts (one, by mystyk, that adds an [X] next to each comment to allow killfile addition, one that has an online killfile list, and one where you edit the base script). None of them have worked.

If it were only one, I'd just contact the writer of the script. However, none of them work, so I don't even know who to turn to. Is there anyone who has successfully installed a (any) MeFi killscript and who has technical knowledge about how it works (i.e. can tell me what is wrong if I tell you what errors are popping up in the javascript console) that can help me get this darn thing working?

Mondo Meta works for me. Have you tried it? It's different from the ones you appear to have described.

I cannot, unfortunately, provide any technical knowledge of how it works or why it might not.

That is an excellent script, solid. Thanks for the link. All of my killfiles stopped functioning recently so this is a welcome addition to my greasemonkey arsenal.

So, who did you killfile? I'm guessing jessamyn, am I right?
