Use thread ratings to hide bad posts

Any ideas out there on how to program a statement that says, "if thread has a rating of x after x number of votes, hide thread?"

This serves as a subtle user moderation hack without the intrusiveness or unappealing looks of the current self-moderated board hacks that are out there...

I have one that closes a thread if the rating dips below a 2. I'll post it tomorrow for you to look at, if you'd like.

i'd be interested in seeing this. Does this take into account how many votes? I wouldn't want one user being able to lock a thread....

Easily done, if you're OK with modifying templates. In the threadbit template, you can use this to alter the appearance of the threadbit (each section dedicated to a thread in a list of threads).

Code:

<if condition=" $thread[voteavg] AND $thread[voteavg] < 2">

Your threadbit template for rubbish threads

<else />

The contents of your normal threadbit template

</if>

The 2 is the limit for the thread's average vote, so it'll kick in a 1.99 or less average. Just change the number to what you want.

Okay, here's the hack Andreas setup for me. If, after 5 votes, the rating is below 2 than the thread is closed. Its also set up to reopen if the rating goes about 3, but that requires file edits since people can't normally vote on a closed thread.

I'd start a hack thread, but this was originally coded by Andreas and I'm unable to really support it.

If someone could figure out a way to make a post showing that the thread is closed with this hack, I'd think you were pretty cool.
