Ok, I've been thinking (always a bad thing) about a fairly easy (I
think) thing to do with adaptive scoring (including word scoring)
(aside: can you score score someone down for using too many ()
comments?)
First off, I have the following ideas about scoring:
1) I want the subject line scoring to stay the same.. Down for
unread, up for read, just like it is now.
2) I want the author scoring to stay the same, minus one exception: I
don't want an author's score to ever drop below 0.
This means that the subject is more important to me than the author's
score, and thus should be adjusted down because I specifically haven't
read that subject before. However, I don't want to nix out an author
entirely just because he writes about a subject that I don't want to
read. I want it to drop to 0 only, because I want to see new subjects
(ie, with a score of 0) still be listed no lower than 0 in score. (I
rarely read anything in the italics section at the bottom). However,
if I still want gnus to decide for me that some author is really
really cool and to score up an author if I've read him/her a lot.
Make sense? It should. Sort of what I'm suggesting for:
(setq gnus-adapt-lower-limits
'(("subject" -100)
("from" 0)
-10000) ;; default (nil = no limit)
gnus-adapt-upper-limits
nil)
Also, this is even more important for word adaption. I never use it
because all my articles in large volume groups drop too low in score,
if I read only 1% of the articles. This would fix this problem, as no
word could ever get scored lower than X but could still get raised,
which would raise the articles I'm probably most interested in but not
those that I'm not.
(setq gnus-adapt-word-lower-limits 0) ; defaults to nil

I haven't stared at the code, but this actually seems tricky to do
based on the current implementation. (I might be mistaken here.)

Hmm... You have to have the current score variable to change it, so I
would think you could compare it against a limit after changing it and
limit it if exceeded. God I need sleep.
