There are problems which don't have a solution.  This seems to be one of =

Hmmm... I guess you are right about this one.  As soon as I vote bad on=20
something, I am a censor according to my definition.  :(  Sorry about tha=

Yes.  It should be 0% in my opinion.  This way when I direct my browser t=

kde-look.org, I have the default of 30% and see only the higher rated=20
content, but it would give me the opportunity to see what else is there a=

ke=20
quite some fun out of the game that those kids are playing.  And if it is=
 no=20
more fun, then maybe they'll stop eventually. =20

I think that the "show only content with score above xx%" is a very good =

And the default value of 30% makes sense.  But I really would like to hav=

the opportunity to see the stuff that others rated "real bad".  What if t=

No idea but the obvious one, that bad comments about this kind of behavio=

care of this.  Nothing to worry about.

P.S.:  And by the way, thanks for kde-look.org.  It is one of 4 sites I t=

visit daily (the others being kde.org,  dilbert.com and heise.de).  I am=20
grateful for your work.  And could you please answer one question that I =
