Guide Review - Remove Spam From MySpace Bulletins

When you install the MySpace Ignore Bulletins script you'll see some new controls in the bulletin space on your MySpace profile. These controls will make it easy for you to choose which of your MySpace friends can send you bulletins, and who can't.

Before Installing

The Greasemonkey Add On must be installed before you can install any tools or scripts from UserScripts.org. Make sure you're logged into MySpace before installing the MySpace Ignore Bulletins script.

The Controls

The "Config" control will help you change which MySpace friends will be on your blacklist and which will be on your whitelist. Those MySpace friends you add to your blacklist will not be able to send any bulletins to you. Those on your whitelist will.

Use the "W", "B" and "A" controls to see which list your MySpace friends are on. If you click on the "W" you'll be able to see all your MySpace friends who are on your whitelist and able to send you bulletins. When you click on the "B" you can see all your MySpace friends that have been added to your blacklist and are no longer able to send you bulletins. Clicking the "A" will allow you to see all your MySpace friends from both lists.

Add To List From Bulletin

Add your MySpace friends to the blacklist or whitelist while you're reading their bulletin. Just click on their bulletin to read it. You'll then see links at the top of the bulletin that read "Add to blacklist/whitelist". From here you can click on this link and choose to add this particular MySpace friend to either your blacklist or your whitelist.

My Opinion

This is a great tool for keeping the spam and other unwanted bulletins off your MySpace profile. If you get ads, invitations to things you can't possibly go to, or some other type of spam bulletins, you can just add them to the blacklist.
