David - TekTab Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 I have a small request to make for future updates to IPB (hopefully 3.0.1 :P). I would like to see the option to change the default post view threshold for members, as discussed here. The default is "Currently viewing all posts", but I would like to be able to change this to a custom threshold of "Hiding all posts below -3 points" by default (or however many points you choose). This would be a great way for the community to actively moderate topics, by negative voting on unsuitable posts. Once enough negative votes have been made, the post will be hidden. Sort of like "burying" on Digg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattIPB Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 This is a great idea and something that I've been looking for for a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jmiz9000 Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 This would be a good idea for large boards, that get alot of useless posts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tranceandy Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 Sounds like a great idea to me to ecourage positive posting. The only issue I can see is when members don't reward good posts, like in this topic for example. Although you have had 3 replies so far including mine, nobody had given positive rep for your suggestion except for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although you have had 3 replies so far including mine, nobody had given positive rep for your suggestion except for me. True, but all you have to do is inform your community about the reputation system and let them know how to use it. The more people use it, the more people that will use it (as they see the numbers next to posts going up). It just has to catch on. Regardless, that's more of a problem with the reputation system as a whole than my suggestion in particular. And my post is at 2 points now :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan H. Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 I would appreciate such an option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattIPB Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 Is there any news on this? Are there any mods that allow posts with say -5 rep to be collapsed (just like youtube comments) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
