If someone wanted to read them, they could be expanded via ajax with a single mouse click.

The threshold for when how many votes would constitute a post being off topic could either be admin set or each user could set their own threshold for off-topic posts.

Of course, it would get really interesting to show in everyone's profile and/or postbit how many 'off-topic' posts they have, and maybe even show that as a percentage of their overall posts.

upz to this!
