It seems that you score by thread Pressing `L'
(gnus-summary-lower-score) or 'I' (gnus-summary-increase-score) and then
`t' to permanently score down a thread.  Scoring down (or up) a thread
as well as scoring down by followup (L and then f) uses the adaptive
scoring machanizm.  Maybe some other scoring options uses the adaptice
machanism to do this.

All of this isn't documented in the manual so it seems as a
documentation bug.
