DocsUsing XpressPurgeQuick Flame Menu

Quick Flame Menu

The quick flame menu is the fastest way to create rules while using X.

XpressPurge adds a small flame button to detected posts. Click it when you see a post you want to filter.

What the Flame Button Does

The flame button opens a compact menu for the current post.

Depending on the post, the menu can include:

  • Hide @handle
  • Quick keyword add
  • Train rule from this post
  • Add new rule
  • Open Settings

Hide the Post Author

Use Hide @handle when you want to hide future posts from the same account.

Steps:

  1. Find a post from the account you want to filter.
  2. Click the flame button on the post.
  3. Click Hide @handle.
  4. XpressPurge creates an account Hide rule.
  5. Matching posts from that handle are hidden when the rule is active.

This is best for accounts you do not want to see in your feed.

Quick Keyword Add

Use Quick keyword add when a post contains a topic, phrase, or repeated spam pattern you want to hide.

Steps:

  1. Click the flame button on a post.
  2. Click Quick keyword add.
  3. Review the suggested keyword.
  4. Edit the keyword if needed.
  5. Click Save rule.

The created rule is a Keyword Hide rule.

Example good keywords:

text
airdrop
text
follow for follow
text
free mint

Avoid overly broad keywords like:

text
the
text
ai

Broad keywords can hide posts you may still want to see.

Train Rule From This Post

Train rule from post modal

Train rule from post modal

Use Train rule from this post when you want reviewed draft options based on the current post.

Steps:

  1. Click the flame button on a post.
  2. Click Train rule from this post.
  3. Review the proposed account, keyword, or domain rule.
  4. Click Save draft to save that rule immediately, or open the full builder instead.

Important:

  • This is a Pro feature.
  • The modal never silently creates or enables a rule for you.
  • Duplicate drafts are blocked if an equivalent rule already exists.
  • On Free, selecting this entry sends you to the full Options flow instead of opening the training modal.

Add New Rule

Use Add new rule when you want more control than the quick actions provide.

Steps:

  1. Click the flame button on a post.
  2. Click Add new rule.
  3. Choose a rule type:
    • Keyword
    • Account
    • Post contains
    • Low engagement
    • Link domain
  4. Choose an action:
    • Hide
    • Boost
    • Snooze
    • Show only
  5. Enter values.
  6. If you choose Snooze, select how long the Snooze should stay active.
  7. Choose a preset or leave it as Always active.
  8. Click Save rule.

Boost, Snooze, and Show only are Pro actions.

When a Snooze rule expires, it turns off automatically. You can enable it again later from the popup or Options page.

Add Multiple Values From the Modal

The in-page modal accepts comma-separated values for text-based rules.

Keywords:

text
crypto, airdrop, free mint

Accounts:

text
@example, @another_user

Domains:

text
example.com, spam-site.com

Post content values:

text
image, video, quote, externalLink

In the full Options page, these values appear as chips.

Assign a Rule to a Preset

When the modal asks for Preset, choose:

  • Always active if the rule should apply whenever Filtering is on.
  • A preset name if the rule should only apply when that preset is active.

Example:

  • Put work-distraction rules into a Work preset.
  • Put crypto spam rules into a Crypto Cleanup preset.
  • Leave always-bad account rules as Always active.

Open Settings

Use Open Settings when you want the full Options dashboard.

From Options, you can:

  • edit the rule;
  • add more values;
  • review Smart Rule suggestions;
  • move the rule into a preset;
  • disable the rule;
  • delete the rule;
  • view analytics;
  • manage Pro, sync, privacy, and account settings.

Closing the Menu

The flame menu closes when you:

  • choose an action;
  • click the close button;
  • click outside the menu;
  • scroll the page;
  • press Escape.

Troubleshooting the Flame Menu

If the flame button does not appear:

  1. Confirm XpressPurge is enabled.
  2. Refresh the X page after reloading the extension.
  3. Scroll the feed so X mounts new posts.
  4. Open Options > Help and download diagnostics if the problem continues.

If a quick rule does not apply:

  1. Check Options > Rules to confirm the rule was created.
  2. Confirm the rule is enabled.
  3. Confirm the preset is active, if the rule was added to a preset.
  4. Confirm the rule is not locked by Free plan limits.
  5. Refresh X if you recently reloaded the extension.
