If the problem is with spam in the ‘recent comments’ sidebar, then it seems like we should change fix that. I would be on board with a rule that posts in hidden sub-threads don’t show up on the ‘recent comments’ sidebar. If we can remove posts from the sidebar, then perhaps posts that drop to −3 are removed from the ‘recent comments’ sidebar as well.
