GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 108991
Very low-scored posts are scored but not filtered out in threads with non-low posts
Last modified: 2006-06-18 05:10:04 UTC
josue@aria:~$ pkg-config --modversion gtk+-2.0 2.2.1 Pan .13.92 (built from today's (Saturday's) cvs) There are certain posters who I simply don't want to see, so I give them a score of -9999 in my scorefile. This works for ignoring their first post, but as soon as someone who *isn't* killed replies to the post, not only will the respondent's post appears, but so will the killed post. It will still have a score of -9999 (as shown in the score column), but will be displayed in the header list. This isn't limited to *just* the author criteria of a score file, but any criterion. I'll included screenshots of it occurring with both subject and poster being -9999.
Created attachment 15170 [details] Screenshot of a -9999 post being displayed when there is a non-very-low score reply

That's because you've selected "show threads with matching articles" and the ignored article is in a thread that matches your criteria. To hide the article, you need change that selection to "show matching articles".
But shouldn't the behavior be the same as the old Bozo Bin filter was, in that (IIRC) killed posts were ignored, whether or not you were showing the entire thread? It seems rather counter-productive (at least to me) that you have to choose between either showing *only* new articles, or showing threads along with the very low-scoring posts--especially when a user has specifically chosen to *not* show very low-scored posts.
Is it ok that I reopen this as RFE? (It seems to be doing what you intended it to, but it's not doing what it *should* be doing. At least in my mind, if you have chosen not to see -9999 posts, you shouldn't be seeing them, and that if you have to choose between viewing threads or viewing low-scored posts, then there's definitely room for enhancement.)
Hanging nine more albatrosses around the neck of the 0.14.0 milestone. :)
Fixed in CVS: http://cvs.gnome.org/bonsai/cvsview2.cgi?diff_mode=context&whitespace_mode=show&subdir=pan/pan&command=DIFF_FRAMESET&file=articlelist.c&rev1=1.616&rev2=1.617&root=/cvs/gnome http://cvs.gnome.org/bonsai/cvsview2.cgi?diff_mode=context&whitespace_mode=show&subdir=pan&command=DIFF_FRAMESET&file=ANNOUNCE.html&rev1=1.104&rev2=1.105&root=/cvs/gnome
As usual, this fix works like a charm. Thanks for a great newsreader. :)
