Re: MicroPlanet Gravity - Scoring Overview

How many groups are you multi-posting this to? 
I've seen it at least 4 times now and it's a PITA. 

If you crosspost instead (with a followup-to set) most 'reader agents
will mark all the article copies as read once the first instance has
been seen.  It's a simple courtesy to your audience.

You're likely to be plonked if you keep multi-posting this way.
Just sayin'.

Scoring Overview Tools - Scoring Gravity's scoring prioritize (and
optionally colors) threads based the score of the highest scored article
within the containing thread. The values are based on the articles
visible in the thread list, according to the display filter. As articles
status changes, the view and thread sort may change as articles drop out
of the filter. You may see negative scored articles in high scored
threads. Scoring by itself does not perform actions on articles. However,
you can use a score as a condition in rules to mark articles as read and
more. In Rule examples, we show how to do that. You can also use score
values in filters. As an example, you could modify the default "Unread
Articles" filter to include articles with a positive score and not show
low-scored articles. There are two ways to add score entries; the "Add
Score Entry" (Quick Score) and the Main Scoring Dialog. * Add words using
the "Add Score Entry", or "Quick Score" (keyboard shortcut: "S"), which
adds a score entry that applies to the current newsgroup. * The Main
Scoring Dialog is like a control panel for all score phrases. Use this to
create score "groups" with wild cards, so that certain score entries
apply to more than one, or all newsgroups. * Score phrases can be
wildcard, regular expression, or plain text. Whole words can be specified
for any input. * Scores are added to individual articles, but score
sorting is based on thread value, which is based on the highest scored
articles within a thread. * To update scores after you have added score
phrases, use the "Re-score current group" command (or do it automatically
using the option in the "Add Score Entry" dialog). What You Can Do With
Scoring Rules - You can use score values in rules to trigger certain rule
actions, such as mark articles read. You can also create rule actions to
add score values (positive or negative). See How-to use scores in rules
for details. Sort Threads - You can  configure Gravity to sort threads in
the thread pane by the maximum article score within each thread. Threads
with high scored articles are moved to the top of the thread list. Color
Threads - You can color code score ranges. Filters - You can use scores
in advanced display filters. For example, you can create a filter that
only shows articles scored greater than zero. Create another filter that
displays articles scored above 500, etc. You can quickly reduce clutter
and scan a group for the most important articles this way.
