No. Thats a daft suggestion. This site acts as a filter for the more popular techcrunch articles.
In the words of a famous kitten: DO NOT WANT.

Great, thanks, but - no. (a) it doesn't exactly do what I want it to (b) it's a third party (officially unsupported) extension (c) GreaseMonkey itself is just too much of a security risk. PS. I did upmod your post though :)
(a) What else do you want it to do? I'm bored and willing to add to it.
(b) Is it so mission critical you need official support? I'll gladly sell you a support contract for $100/yr. That will buy you piece of mind that if PG ever changes the html structure of the page, I'll update my GM script accordingly.
(c) Don't install scripts without looking at the source first. I posted mine for all to see.
PS. I'm serious about (a) ... I'll gladly work on it for fun.
No, don't ban them. I only read TC articles when they show up here. The comments here are also good.

Kind of unrelated request:
Can you write a GM script that displays a red envelope like in Reddit, if someone replies to any of my comments?
Thanks for the blacklist btw. Very useful. And your cross site GET via image request is interesting. How about multiple requests when the data doesn't fit (with an end-of-requests marker)
Unlikely to happen, since YC companies get so much coverage from TechCrunch....

considering that TC employees regularly check news.yc it's plausible to assume they automatically upvote all TC stories.
Yeah, which is why you should be able to downmod.
As far as excluding TC content goes, while I could live without it, think about the number of AWESOME discussions that would have killed in the past, then ask yourself if that's what you want for the future.
I actually don't read TC. I'd rather have the knowledgeable folk on here upmod a good TC article, then I'll read it. Crowdsourcing my reading :)
If TechCrunch isn't banned, please mod the system so that links to TechCrunch start out with a negative point value and can be modded up.
Let's ban everything!
edit: they keep upvoting it. i feel like gail wynand.
