The default action would be to just kill-file the poster for the
article currently being viewed. If it was a hook, then additional
customizations could be added by each user.

From the Jargon file:

plonk excl.,vt.

[Usenet: possibly influenced by British slang `plonk' for cheap
booze, or `plonker' for someone behaving stupidly (latter is
lit. equivalent to Yiddish `schmuck')] The sound a newbie makes as he
falls to the bottom of a kill file. While it originated in the
newsgroup talk.bizarre, this term (usually written "*plonk*") is now
(1994) widespread on Usenet as a form of public ridicule.
