Hello, tl.net community! My name is Tobias, but during my gamer days I was known as Hildegard, playing mostly as a rogue in World of Warcraft.  If you want to check out my skills, feel free to watch this six-year-old video from the WoW Mists of Pandaria expansion. In my humble opinion, this was the best expansion for PvP, especially 3v3 arena death matches.

Professionally, I work in communication and data-driven decision-making. In January, I start a program called "Leveraging AI for effective decision-making" at the MIT, but virtually from home. 
Link: https://prolearn.mit.edu/applied-data-science-program-leveraging-ai-effective-decision-making

Recently, I exchanged emails with Matthias from Team Liquid. I don't know what position he has, but I asked him a question regarding a browser extension which hides spoilers until the user decides to remove them. Personally, I use two browsers. On Mozilla, I used uBlock Origin to block any areas that could include spoilers and Chrome for logging in and commenting on posts.

What made and makes Starcraft (talking about both games) so special is that it is a place where the absolute best players face off in a game that is better than chess, football (or soccer for you strange people on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean) and possibly even Go. They could earn much more money in less competitive games. And, in a time of war, they come from many different countries, that fight wars and have political tensions or trade wars. Chinese, American, European and Russian players compete peacefully. Not even the Olympics can claim that. And tl.net is still the heart of that scene. This is a place of hope, of competition, and an example the world should notice.

But we have to start somewhere. Starcraft wasn't fully destroyed by money, and the scene is striving. I'm still watching Group B in the round of 8 of the last GSL and if you spoiler me I will dream of unpleasant things I won't do to you but would very much like to do.

Some links about me:
  • Tobias Clemens Häcker on YouTube Music
  • Tobias Clemens Häcker on Facebook (as Franz Bieberkopf)
  • Tobias Clemens Häcker on LinkedIn
  • Tobias Clemens Häcker on X (Twitter)
  • Tobias Clemens Häcker on Reddit
  • Tobias Clemens Häcker on Instagram (barely used)
  • Tobias Clemens Häcker on TikTok (using only German so far)
You are welcome.


You guys are younger and smarter than me. So, is anyone out there with an idea how we could start building a browser extension that prevents spoilers on tl.net without removing the option to log in, browse and comment on tl.net?

If anything... This should be made for LP (liquipedia) imo. TL (tl.net) since LP is way more controlled.

If you don't want to be spoiled you should avoid any kind of discussion until you've watched the VODs. There used to be dedicated threads for that, i.e. the small VODS threads, but those don't get used much anymore. (I see the SC2 one has been dead for over 6 years now lol).

What I'd like to see is another block on the right side bar, that shows VODs added to LP in the 7-10 days, in chronological order of active tournaments with a typical + Show Spoiler +
feature everyone is already familiar with. This way TL can remain a hub where you can easily find and discuss all the latest news easily.

I got frustrated after trying many different names after drinking at the rhine river with friends and then returning to the university to work because I always loved working on cool things.

Creating a Chrome browser extension to block specific StarCraft spoilers is a great idea, especially for maintaining the excitement of watching tournaments without prior knowledge of the outcomes. However, developing such an extension involves several steps:

Defining Requirements: Clearly define what the extension should block (specifically which tournaments, websites, and types of content).

Learning Basic Web Technologies: If you're not already familiar, you'll need to learn HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, as these are essential for building Chrome extensions.

Understanding Chrome Extension Structure: Chrome extensions typically include a manifest file, background scripts, content scripts, and optional pop-up HTML files.

Developing the Spoiler-Blocking Logic: This would involve writing scripts to detect and hide content related to unwatched tournaments or specific spoiler content. It might require pattern recognition or specific markers in the webpage's HTML structure.

Testing and Debugging: After developing the extension, it needs to be tested across different scenarios to ensure it works as intended.

Deployment: Once tested, you can package the extension and add it to the Chrome Web Store, or keep it for personal use.

For a non-developer, this can be a challenging project, but there are many resources available online for learning how to create Chrome extensions. If you're not up for the task yourself, you might consider hiring a developer or collaborating with someone who has the necessary skills.

Would you like more detailed guidance on any of these steps, or perhaps resources to start learning how to build Chrome extensions?
