It's jdporter's baby and he's adjusting the thresholds from time to time.

So it's up to him his to implement this in the best way.

I have updated the code to show a distinct message for this scenario, i.e. where the user is logged in but the node is very bad. The text for this case is:

A reply falls below the community's minimum standard of quality and will not be displayed.

Thanks to hexhex for bringing this to our attention.

Today's latest and greatest software contains tomorrow's zero day exploits.

I'm on the train and have trouble checking but IIRC two places need to be patched.

Furthermore would I personally include the necessary level, otherwise new requests are likely to happen again.

I would have patched it myself, but given that there are two places to be patched i would have needed to insert two config variables for thresholds (downvotes and level) to manage it from a central point, and I don't know how to do this.
