This script colors and/or hides general discussion forum topics which contain keywords you specify yourself.
By default, it hides topics containing any of the following: giveaway, win, vote, gift. A small link in the upper right tells you how many threads are invisible, and allows you to show them again. Click 'prefs' to open a preferences box. Here, you can add or change filter terms (which can include the topic author's name), topic colors, and topic visibility.
It works with both forum color schemes.
I've tested extensively on Vista Firefox with greasemonkey, and briefly on Chrome with tampermonkey.

Firefox installation::
1. Install greasemonkey add-on.
2. Visit the site below and click the "install" button at the upper right.
(The site may contain ads with big download buttons. Ignore them. You want the "install" button.)

Chrome installation:
1. Install Tampermonkey for chrome.
2. Visit the site below and click the "install" button at the upper right.
(The site may contain ads with big download buttons. Ignore them. You want the "install" button.)

3. Chrome will prompt you with a question: Do you want to install the script through Tampermonkey, or natively within Chrome? Click OK to install through Tampermonkey.

Here's a link to my first forum script: (So you can see I've done this before.)
http://www.gog.com/forum/general/hide_giveaway_threads_greasemonkey/page1
You can view the script source on the userscripts site. I'm happy to answer any questions about how it works. If the script works (or doesn't work) for you, please let me know.
***IF YOU'RE USING MY OTHER SCRIPT, PLEASE DISABLE IT BEFORE INSTALLING THIS ONE.*** Running them both concurrently would probably make a fine mess.
