Recursive scoring or articles

Recursive scoring or articles

[Sebastian Krause]

Hello!

I'm wondering if it's possible to apply a score of an article to all
of its follow-ups. In detail I would like to kill a whole subthread
that follows an article I've killed with some negative score. Maybe
something with adaptive scoring and the references headers?
Unfortunately I couldn't find anything.

Thanks,
Sebastian

Is something like `L r S' what you have in mind?
Cf. (info "(gnus)Summary Score Commands")

But this requires manual interaction and when the article is already
killed (and so vanished from the summary buffer) I don't what to
find it manually so run this command to kill its follow-ups. It
should happen automatically.

An example thread:

1. [ interesting post ]
2.    [ troll A answers ]
3.       [ posting feeding the troll ]
4.       [ more food ]
5.           [ another troll ]
6.    [ good answer ]
7.    [ another good answer ]

Now let's assumene I've already killed troll A in my score
file. Since the troll-feeding posts will just be as annoying, lines
3-5 should be *automatically* killed together with line 2. So I
would see this result in the summary buffer without any manual
interaction:

1. [ interesting post ]
2.    [ good answer ]
3.    [ another good answer ]

I.e. you already have a rule like this?

 ("from"
  ("some troll" -10000 nil s))

Adding this rule should help:

 ("followup"
  ("some troll" -10000 nil s)

,----[ (info "(gnus)Score File Format") ]
|          "Followup"
|                This match key is somewhat special, in that it will
|                match the `From' header, and affect the score of not
|                only the matching articles, but also all followups to
|                the matching articles.  This allows you e.g. increase
|                the score of followups to your own articles, or decrease
|                the score of followups to the articles of some known
|                trouble-maker.  Uses the same match types as the `From'
|                header uses.  (Using this match key will lead to
|                creation of `ADAPT' files.)
`----

If the troll is nice enough to use it's own FQDN, you may score on
(message-id and) references:

 ("message-id"
  (".ln1@usenet.de.gg>" -1000 nil r))

 ("references"
  ("@trolls\\.fqdn\\.invalid>[^>]+>[^>]+>$" -1 nil r)
  ("@trolls\\.fqdn\\.invalid>[^>]+>$" -10 nil r)
  ("@trolls\\.fqdn\\.invalid>$" -100 nil r)

Exactly what I wanted. Thanks! :)
