Some of you may want to block posts from a specific NICO user. Here's how:

Download the "Remove It Permanently" add-on to Firefox:

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/521

Find out the user's NICO id #. If you hover your mouse over their NICO username, the number will show in the Firefox status bar.

In Firefox, go to Tools -> RIP Options. Change the settings for one of the presets to:

Name: NICOURL: zerothread*XPath query: //a[@href='/zerouser?cmd=viewprofile&id=NUMBER']/../..

^ Replace NUMBER with the user's NICO id.

This will hide all posts from the user. It won't work for other users quoting the blocked user, but I can probably come up with an XPath expression for that, also.
