I just trashed the keyword....

"Trump" and it's like DU just went back 3 years. A lot of good posts come to the top and it's not all a single subject anymore. There's actually interesting stuff to read. I trashed a few pseudonyms as well. Voila.. DU is back.

It shows me just how much we advertise that name on the internet.

You'll find a trash can tab. Under that you'll find an entry that allows you to make all posts with certain keywords disapear. I put in "trump", and all posts with that word in the title are gone.

Ya gotta get tricky sometimes, though.

Example: Hefner, Hef, Heff.
Example: Pit Bull, Pitbull, Pit-Bull
Example: Pistorius, Pistorious, Pitorius
Example: sniff, sniffing, sniffling
Example: Valentine, Valentine's, Valentines
Example: Zimmerman, Zim, Zimmy, Zimmie

I think you get the picture.

Partly because I was too lazy to look up the correct spelling and partly because other people were, too.

I'm like, "Oh, look! A new misspelling. I better add that one."

And while it helps, as mentioned you need to do many derivatives of the words you are trashing.

Trump alternative names that start with "D" trashed. Then all of his kids, wives, prostitutes, friends, enemies, spokescritters, plus everyone he's fired. Today I trashed "Tillerson". Then I trashed "Pompeo" for good measure.
