in reply to RFC: Hide Very Bad Answers From Visitors

Having followed this discussion over the past days, and tried to understand all pros and cons, why not - instead of hiding the post (and its descendants) - just insert a bright red/black/whatever message in a somewhat bigger font claiming

This post is considered bad content

Or whatever is considered (pun intended) bad by the voting system (whatever formula is used)


Enjoy, Have FUN! H.Merijn

    Without hiding it this would only motivate some to collect this "message" as a badge of honor.

    I also think a mark (for logged in users that is) should have a more neutral wording.

    Assuming that its "bad content" depends on the POV, that's why I suggested "Disputed:" (which fits into the "Reaped:" model)

      This thread is officially discouraged.

      We don't discourage all threads, but when we do, we discourage this one.

      Even these threads are better than this.

      We'll tell you what threads to use and what threads not to use.

      threads can be improved faster than this one.
