"Bad"? Where's this coming from?

It's the category in which all the bad and neutral posts will live (unrated).

Neutral is only bad when 4 out of 5 messages are higher than non-neutral and
the odd neutral stands out for not having been uprated.  This new arrangement
(hopefully) will have the opposite -- 4 out of 5 messages neutral and only 1
out 5 non-neutral.  And (roughly) 1 out of 100 as Spotlight.

Some munging of old data will be needed of course.


One suggestion might be to change the input field from a dropdown to being
a checkbox.

If there are going to only be three choices, then I'd prefer buttons - one
click instead of click,locate,scroll,unclick,locate,click.

That could work for single-article displays.  Still needs to be (at the very
least) radio buttons for multiple-article displays (like threads).  Chose a
drop-down list because it saves room for other things like "grab a copy of
this article and store it in my personal 'Xyzpdq' folder/channel."
