Perhaps we should consider the distribution of the votes and hide posts with rating in 10th percentile and below. The number 0.1 is subject to discussion, of course.

Pro: no need for complicated formulae based on $NORM. Contra: it still may not mean what we think it means.

Any node with replies will have replies in the bottom 10%. I don't think it makes sense to hide these if these have not gathered a significant amount of downvotes.	[reply]

What if quantiles are computed over last year over whole section / whole website and not just the current thread? That should give us a representative threshold of a "really bad node rating", I think.	[reply]
