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 questions are likely to pop up 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.

Update

There is some confusing code in at least 3 nodes,¹ sometimes a hardcoded level -9 is used otherwise a system wide HTMLVARS² crap_threshold = -4 . Furthermore does Annomonk have two system wide identifiers like guest- and default-user.

I'd volunteer to clean this up with 3-4 patches by adding crap_min_xp and refactoring the code to be consistent.

I'd suggest only need one clause ((guest_user or crap_min_xp) and level< crap_threshold)
