The problem tends to be that perfectly interesting and valid discussions
break out in the midst of a flame war, and are in the tree of the
killed thread.
I tried it and missed out on a lot. Now, it would work if everyone
would create a new posting (without references to the troll thread)
when they change topics, but they often don't.
I hate killfiles because I miss the authors' more lucid postings.
I use them because I finally decided it was worth missing the good
stuff to miss the bad stuff, too, and I'm not sure that is true.
Moderation would work better.
I hate killthreads because I miss any worthwhile discussions which
rise pheonix-like from the midst of the flames. Moderation would
work better.
We need really intelligent filters that can see the difference
between an interesting bit and a bunch of noise. So we elected
about six of them.
