Can you automatically pull threads that get reported a certain number of times?

This isn't my idea, I've heard it suggested before, but it seems a good one to me.

If x number of people report a thread, it automatically disappears until it is reviewed by mnhq.

I think this is much needed at the moment.

I'm sure there are probably cons to this idea, I'd be interested to hear what others think and any other suggestions?

Agreed BOF.

Brilliant idea. There's been a few bloody obvious trolls recently who've taken ages to be shut down. I think it's a plan with no real flaws.

An automatic lock would be good.

That said, if people just reported without posting and did this new thing I've heard about called 'not feeding the troll', then they would slip down active convos and shuffle home without the attention they were looking for.

Deletions should be faster.

If they can't be, a 'lock until review' might be a good step.

The only 'con' is if a group of posters co-ordinate an attack on a thread. No idea if this is likely, though have seen mention of similar marshalling in the past.

ATM they don't, its obvious to any overnight regulars. I think it would be a good idea though.

Excellent idea.

Agreed.
