Allow list of exceptions to not display in recent contributors

[jywarren]

We often name recent contributors in our community weekly check-ins - publiclab/PublicLab.Editor#634

And this list of ppl often comes from copy-pasting from our Recent contributors listing on https://code.publiclab.org -

However, some people ask not to be named anymore.

Could we insert a CSS class or style for making some usernames not user-selectable, using the CSS user-select-none

https://caniuse.com/user-select-none

I tested this myself in the Chrome console, and it works - you can select /around/ text which bears user-select: none; style!

Looks good to me @jywarren, but how do we ensure which user is to be selectable and which not?

If this issue is still there to work then I would like to work upon this.
@jywarren please could you elaborate on how shall we get to know which users are not to be selected?

[jywarren]

@pydevsg sorry for slow reply - i think we would need to maintain a listing of people who've opted out, in our codebase.

@akanksha-v we'd love help! I wonder if maybe another issue might be better as a first issue? Maybe one of these? first-timers-only

What do you think?

@jywarren I saw those issues first but actually when I looked into the codebase then, some were already solved, and also directory structure is different as these were really old issues.
Could you please help me?

[jywarren]

ah for sure, actually if there are ones which are out of date, i would love to close them. Can you leave a comment accordingly on them and we can clear them out? that would be so helpful! Yes, I just made you a new one here! #411
