: )

Still have a question though... I still see a linkedin.com url - can you grep on keywords in domain names?

Also, only single KWs are possible, not sentences?

I understand your problem. If you are talking about grep domain then that will be possible using Regex but i am not sure the ignore panel has that much ability to run Regex in it. So,

1.) You don't want to see any messages having domain in it? ( whole message removal)
2.) You don't want to see the domain removed but rest should be shown? ( partial - link removal but not rest texts)
3.) Sentences removal? That is probably not an efficient thing i guess as filtering sentences will reduce the accuracy. ( can you please explain more? With example - i can be wrong )

:)

It's really those annoying auto DMs

Somehow everyone wants me to check their Instagram-link (nobody in crypto will ever DM me a relevant instagram link)
Somehow many ppl think that #Altcoin #Bitcoin needs "get more followers now"

People do send me a lot URLs and many of them are relevant or should be judged by me personally. I cannot remove just on 'followers' because I get many questions or DMs mentioning my followers. But ppl never call me #Altcoin #Bitcoin - only auto DMs do that : )

But those instagram-DMs and hello #Altcoin #Bitcoin messages can GO

The function will split the DM you receive into words, then check if any of those match what you input. A single match and the mail is ignored in the inbox viewer and a message sent to twitter.com to delete it.

So you can only ignore on full single word words.

What EXACTLY are you trying to ignore? Instagram URLs? Anything else?

As to #altcoin, I will check and confirm how that will be seen, I have a feeling the # is ignore, so the word to match is altcoin

# is removed

so to match
#altcoin you would need to ignore on altcoin


I have just added an option so you can specify partial match (with no word splitting)

so you would match on exactly what was entered: #altcoin matches #altcoin


The next update will fix this. I shall let you know when it is ready.

Martin

Yeah my Inbox is rather empty now - I'm now even discovering nasty Youtube advertisements! I'm sure I lost a lot of relevant messages, so I'm gonna see if there's a log somewhere of what got removed :)
