There is a "hide" button. Not sure if that's what you mean by "kill file."

A "kill file" was a feature popularized by Usenet news readers. It lets you save a list of terms that you're not interested in seeing. For example, you may never want to see articles or comments from a particular user or which contain a particular phrase.
