I'm looking for a modification that would give you the option of automatically closing/moving/deleting a thread based on the rating of the thread. This would cut out the middle man if the users of the site were honest with their thread ratings. Even then, there'd have to be a lot of people who would want to cause havoc to ruin this idea.
Highlights
- Ability to turn system on and off.
- Ability to set amount of ratings required before action is taken.
- Ability to set a minimum rating before threads are effected.
- Ability to choose move/close/delete thread after minimum is breached.
- Ability to set where thread is moved to.
Those are the main points I'd want. I was also thinking that you could allow for move, close and delete all at different ratings. Let's make an example!
When a thread has acquired 25 ratings from people, it would then begin averaging them and taking the result into factor. If the rating falls below 3/5, it is closed. If it falls below 2.5/5, it is moved to another forum (in my case, a forum where you can read only). If the thread falls below 2.0, it would then be deleted completely. At the same time, if it only ever got 20 ratings total, it wouldn't be touched. Could probably just do it all in a cron job or something, right? I unno.
I think this would really be of some serious help to most any forum. Anyone interested?
