Support for collapsing spam comments #46

Open qazip opened 6 years ago

qazip commented 6 years ago

Take a look, for example, at this post: https://chainbb.com/forum-announcement/@jesta/fnew-forums-new-forum-announcements

Most of the comments are clearly spam. It would be nice to support collapsing comments somehow. I suggest a user-defined setting:

"Collapse comments that have more than X downvotes";

where X can be chosen per user, in chainBB's settings.

If the comment has negative rshares (from flagging), it does hide them. There's just no way to flag a post on chainBB yet, which I need to get added.

Also - going by the number of downvotes may or may not be beneficial. There are people out there with hundreds or thousands of accounts that could easily cause false positives of their own.

I think once you implement #47 (support to ignore users) this issue will not become as important, but would be nice to have.

I do agree that there are people that can "gang" and mass downvote a comment that should not be downvoted, but is there anything that can be done against that? One can always just uncollapse comments, to see what they are about.
