Hi @BeBe, what workaround did you find?
I have a user for which it’s okay to see their posts in others’s topics but I would like to have **their created topics hidden**.
Their topics always revolve around the same (boring) subjects. 😉
There is a CSS way to hide user posts inside topics:
> [@Muting a user doesn't hide their posts?](https://meta.discourse.org/t/muting-a-user-doesnt-hide-their-posts/57691/5):
>
> `.topic-post article[data-user-id="26487"]`
But unfortunately topic lists don’t include user id of creator, so there is no such way of hiding topics created by user.
Let’s take user name `abc` id `123`.
I had a look at the source code to see if there is a way to do with user CSS.
The topic tag is currently like:
```
```
Inside it, sure I could query the posters cell, but it would **need JavaScript as I want to hide its parent** :
```
tr > td.posters > a:first-child[data-user-card='abc']
```
Now, if we would have the **additional attribute** `data-op-user-id="123"`, directly on the topic `tr`:
```
```
**We could use simple user CSS** do some great filtering on user ID for which we prefer not seeing their topics:
```
tr.topic-list-item[data-op-user-id='123']
```
Would it be possible to have such a new `data-op-user-id` on topic entry `tr.topic-list-item` tags?
**Only works in desktop mode** , see bottom.

For whoever might be interested, I wrote [a small userscript](https://github.com/jesus2099/konami-command/blob/master/mb_HIDE-TOPICS-BY-USERS.user.js) for [community.metabrainz.org](http://community.metabrainz.org).
I first tried with `MutationObserver`, as advised, but it became overly complex, so I just use a dumb `setInterval`.
I did not make it dynamic and with user settings etc.
Each update will erase your blacklist and your `@include` (see later).
Because I hope a new `data-op-user-id` attribute will be added to topics in genuine Discourse, so I won’t need this userscript any more.
You can adapt it to any other Discourse forum by changing its `@include` to your URL (the only specific line).

Does not work in mobile view as (unfortunately), [by design, Discourse does not show OP avatar in mobile view.](https://meta.discourse.org/t/on-the-mobile-theme-the-list-of-posts-shows-the-latest-replying-users-avatar-not-the-ops-avatar/41592)
So it would still be very convenient _spam_-wise to have that [suggested `tr.topic-list-item[data-op-user-id='123']`.](https://meta.discourse.org/t/topics-created-by-ignored-users-showing-on-homepage/170366/13)

Now updates won’t reset my blacklist, I have added a basic blacklist editor and the list is saved locally.
But I would really love love love that Discourse would include an OP user ID in every topic `
` rows, so a super simple user stylesheet would be enough to hide ignored user topics:
```css
tr.topic-list-item[data-op-user-id='123'] { display: none; }
```
Or I would even more love love love love that Discourse would simply hide ignored user topics itself.
I don’t understand the purpose of ignored users if their topics polute my browsing.
