I'm using gnus 5.8.8, and the documentation claims that adaptive
scoring doesn't work well with auto-expire.
I have what might be a foolish question: Why not just arrange that
when you're reading a mail group, commands such as d, k, and K mark
the message(s) in question as expired instead of marking them as read?
Usually, when I'm reading mail, I think of "d" as meaning "I don't
want to see this message any more, ever again."
Regards,
Andrew Koenig

Adaptive scoring looks at the marks. When you read a message, the
mark is r, whereas when you delete it, it's R (or vice versa?). So
adaptive scoring arranges to increase the score for r articles but
decrease for R articles (or vice versa).
With auto-expire, both kinds of articles are marked E which makes the
distinction difficult.
Therefore, use total-expire if you want adaptive scoring.
