Description
Possibly a filter for ideas that would filter ideas based on score.
ie. If a idea drops below -10 then hide it.
this could be configured in the profile
or could use a slashdot-like system

While I agree that it would be nice to delete all of JoseGosdin's "suggestions", removing ideas in this manner could be exploited by a malicious user to censor ideas. All one would have to do is create a bunch of users and repeatedly vote down an idea until it gets automatically removed.
I imagine admins will manually remove trolls from the system upon review.

This would work more as you would set the threshold. I would prefer not to see anything below -20 as those ideas are usually there for a reason.
With any system there will be people trying to abuse it, but this would clean it up and prevent people from just spamming so that you can't see anything else.
A perfect example is slashdot (www.slashdot.org)

Some of the best ideas are those that have got modded down.
Democracy and software really do not mix. It is called argumentum ad populum, and it's a serious logic flaw.

I don't see how the arguments are really against Nulifiers _idea_: It would _allow_ people to set the filter if they want to. If, say, you guys wouldn't want to and love seeing ideas that have -100 or whatever then you could still choose not to use it.
+1 from me. Great idea, I'm condifent this will show up sooner or later as there's a jungle out there which will eventually make participation in here lower if there are no ways to get it more structured.
