Done.
 
I get a little message that says "This message by Dave has been hidden due to negative ratings (show message)."
 
Yeah, I can see how many of each rating a person has gotten, but the list link that lets me see who gave what rating is not there anymore.

It's an experiment. It takes 5x the lock button to hide the comment. But it's not deleted, just hidden.

And I have a ticket with the dev about the new inability to find out who put what rating.[DOUBLEPOST=1363397850][/DOUBLEPOST]
Do "Disagree" ratings have the same effect?
No.
 
Can positive ratings override the auto hide? That would be super, it would avoid posts from people being ganged up on just to hide them (which I'm fairly certain is going to happen).

I dunno, I've never seen any post get more than 3 lock ratings at a time (OP excluded). I don't think it will be as bad as everyone fears.

That's because they didn't hide the post before. I can think of at least 5 users who will make it their mission to hide every one of Charlie's posts.
 
I see no good coming from this, it's not like we're a huge community that needs to silence constant spammers.

Goodbye everyone, it's become clear that I can't post anything in this stupid forum without being the subject of ridicule and persecution without anyone even bothering to stop and wonder if they're being worse than the fluffies they pretend to despise. Negative commenters, in my opinion, are so wrapped up in their own lives and desires/needs that any idea, or posset that doesn't comply to those needs is an actual affront to them. I know you will delete this post, or call me a troll. You'll probably block comments to it. I just think you need to be aware of how rude some of you sound, not everyone spends their whole life reading guinea pig forums all the time. maybe you should pull your head out of your ass and fuck off. No, you mutated children, crossbreeds between hagfish and a puddle of babboon vomit, just FLAT OUT ASSUMED that I am some drugged-out fluffy who plays violent video games and names Deities after them. On second thought-FUCK OFF and HAVE A NICE DAY.Have fun on your little power trip,bring me back a T-Shirt will ya?

A lock vote? Oh, the irony. :p

That's just being retarded. The [ignore person] feature still works, doesn't it? If people have trouble with someone, it's best to just ignore that person. But to hide every post of that person for everyone else (who will open the hidden posts anyway) is just... well... what's the right word for this.. Scumbag Steve-ish?
