Logged in users can still see these VBN, which is ok.

But could we at least flag them with a special CSS-style, be directly in the post or in RAT view. (This CSS could also be configured to hide the post if wanted)

FWIW: I'm currently maintaining a personal CSS list to highlight notorious monks, so I don't fall again into the trap to answer them.

But knowing that the threshold is already reached would help me avoiding them even more.

I know that downvotes should be cast without bias and prior information, and this feature might attract "stupid" downvotes.

But given the fact that this information is already available - just log out to (not) see - this would be convenient for us regulars.

I also think this is a good feedback mechanism for notorious monks to realize that the tolerance of the monastery is running thin and everybody gets a warning.

PS: I know that I could already provide a patch, but I'd prefer to discuss the ramifications beforehand.
