    That would stop half the people posting new threads though. :rolleyes:

    I would love it if individual posts could be modded down below a threshold like on digg. Then we could avoid reading all the "PM sent" posts.

    You prefer having 10 similar threads each week or month? :confused: :confused:

    I expressed my wishes for a self-moderating VB a while back. Like on Digg if a post/threads get X many complaints it can be buried automatically etc. It needs well thought-out algorithms but once fine tuned, it's a blessing.

    When something is modded down a lot, I normally end up opening it just out of interest. So rather than saving time, it adds a click :)

    But I can forsee forums becoming more 2.0-ish like that. The moderating part of it has been going that route for the last few months, the user part will probably follow.

    Digg like member moderating would be very cool. I don't know if vB will go that route but it could make an excellent addon for somebody to do.

    I do exactly the same. :)

    The system would be pretty simple too once you have an ajax way of modding the post up or down. 

    if($score<0){
$display="hidden";
}
