  Re: Vote to unhighlight?
 
(...) I would have no problem with the author having that ability, but the only time I would consider allowing Admin to do it would be with "murfled" posts (as described in the leaked p&p doc). And I would probably say in that particular case, it (...) (21 years ago, 27-Apr-05, to lugnet.admin.suggestions)

  Re: Vote to unhighlight?
 
(...) I would probably suggest 2 bits tagged on the post: 1) Author has prevented highlighting/spotlighting 2) Admin has prevented highlighting/spotlighting The effect of the bits would actually be pretty hidden. Instead of preventing people from (...) (21 years ago, 27-Apr-05, to lugnet.admin.suggestions)

  Re: Vote to unhighlight?
 
(...) This is something I would support, though it might be hard to do from the NNTP or SMTP interfaces (unless there is some flag that could be put in the post or a header). It might be nice to be able to do after the fact also, but verification (...) (21 years ago, 27-Apr-05, to lugnet.admin.suggestions)
 
  Re: Vote to unhighlight?
 
(...) Yes, I picked this up too. (...) Yes, Larry I had offered the ability to prevent or remove any highlight to my own posts.

  Re: Vote to unhighlight?
 
(...) LUGNET history note: we already went through this. When highlighting was first available, it was possible to give a negative rating to messages. This feature was abused/misused almost immediately -- or at least, people perceived that it was (...) (21 years ago, 27-Apr-05, to lugnet.admin.suggestions)
