I have created an idea in Idea Place to Block annoying users from activity feed : View Idea
If you are reading this blog entry, kindly read the idea and promote it if you like it.
The idea would take lot of time to get approved (provided there are enough votes).
Till that time, I am using a browser trick to feel better while browsing activity feed.
A picture is worth 1000 words, and watching the profile pic of an annoying user in activity feed has more effect than reading user's name or post.
Firefox used to have block images option, which is missing in current versions.
So i installed one of several addons that allow me to do that.
Similar addon is also present on Chrome browser.
Say a profile pic is too creepy,
Or too wannabe.
The URL of pic would be like:
http://scn.sap.com/people/<username>/avatar/<digits>.png
Adding above URL with correct username and *.png to addon options will block all unwanted profile pics.
When applied to my profile, below entry in activity feed:
..will change to:
Now i feel better.
