4.) Don't Forget To Create A Recycle Bin Forum!
5.) Enjoy Release
Cron Job Instructions:
AdminCP -> Scheduled Tasks -> Add New Scheduled Task Varname: automovebasedonrating Title: Auto Move Threads Per Rating Description: This script automatically moves threads to recycle bin once per week based on ratings Day Of The Week: Monday (or whenever you want) Hour: Whatever you want Log Entries: Yes Filename: ./includes/cron/automovethread_rating.php Product: Select Auto Move Threads Based On Rating's
Please Note: This hack uses a cron that runs once a week to select threads with less than x rating average and move them to a recycle forum. Basically it clears up the garbage threads that have low ratings.
Its very beta, but tested pretty heavily. I will try to support as much as I can, but use at your own risk. Thanks!

Wow, I hadn't even thought about this. Brings a whole new level of user interaction into play. Running with multiple forums I could impliment a 'Digg' type system! Definately installed. Thank you.
Yup, I never thought about it until my co-admin said something like "hey dude, we need to alleviate some of these garbage threads with 1 star ratings. Move them into some recycle bin type forum where users posts counts don't count towards the user, even if they respond in that recycled forum" I thought it was a great idea, and ratings are such a big part of community forums, its nice to move the crap ones elsewhere.
Thats why I coded this.
I really love the idea of this hack. Do I understand correctly though if 1 user votes a thread below my threshold - the thread will be moved? If so doesn't this get abused?
I would like to see a number of votes threshold - in other words the thread rating must be below my threshold and at least X users must have rated the thread.
Update: I installed this anyway to test and nothing seems to be happening when I manually run the scheduled task. In the options I have the system enabled, I have a CSV of nearly every forum ID, a valid recycle bin ID, only 2 Admin users protected via CSV, and rating threshold of 2.00. I tested rating a few posts 1 or 2, running the cron job and nothing happens. Any help?
Update 2: evidently a post needs to have more than 1 vote before it is moved. Mod is working perfectly! Thanks.
