Thanks for the easy copy and paste and thanks to webos internals for adding this functionality. It has re-revolutionized the preware browsing experience.

I added catbox....

[StoneRyno]

just think in comparison how much crap spam there is on apple and android. Sure they can show off their numbers but from what I have been hearing is the crap spam makes it near impossible to find the good stuff. Hopefully this doesn't become a tend and remains the handful of big offenders. Note ones that only have about 10 or 15 crap apps I haven't blocked because they aren't spamming them all at once and bumping the version number on all at once. I blocked the big offenders who up the version number of all their apps just to push them to the top of the most recent apps list making it annoying to look for other new app. *cough* brighthouse labs *cough* and maybe one other notorious for that. And appBookShop never heard of eReaders I guess being number two big offender for clutter when looking for what's new. I'll have to compare anything new from this thread to my list and see what's what.

[Jbpreston]

thanks for the quick list to ban.

[fredewins]

Maybe we need an option to add all of these, and keep current
with any new offenders.

just curious why did you blacklist "WebOZ Mobile Apps"

[tobias funke]

The last thing I need on my phone is a book from thousands of years ago that tells me to throw stones at gay people. :-)

[StoneRyno]

Here is a run down with counts as of this posting. Please note that some of the developers with small amounts around 10 or less apps some may not consider spam or crap apps so you may want to check to make sure they aren't developers you would be interested in. I didn't add any new ones to my black list from this list only the ones with 30+ apps I blacklisted. Some of the other ones I may blacklist depending on their reputation of adding and updating apps. If their additions and updates start cluttering the daily checks for whats new and updated then they will get added to mine.

And if you actually read that book you would notice that it does not tell you to throw stones at gay people.

With that kind of thought process you might as well add Rusty Apps because "it tells you to throw stones at fat people".

You don't like it, blacklist it on your own, but don't tell everyone else to blacklist it because *you* don't want to get anywhere near it.

[tobias funke]

I didn't tell anyone to blacklist anything. I simply posted my own blacklist and asked for suggestions that I'm missing.

If someone is dumb enough to add my entire list to their Preware without checking any of it and confirming my choices, that's their own problem, isn't it?

I appreciate what StoneRyno did by going through my list and referencing the number of apps removed by each one, which may help others making their own list. That's a good example of how to make a helpful post in a thread, something you should pay heed to.

He responded truthfully because he was asked, an ad hominem approach doesn't earn you any points for your cause.

Instead try to form a truly logical argument swaying others from his suggestion, Why should people consider keeping that contributer out of the blacklist?
