It only runs on pages where questions are being listed: Homepage, Unanswered and Questions. Depending on the page and the configuration, very few questions will show up, and chances are good that they are interesting. If somebody already gave a negative vote, why look at it? If it's a new user, sorry to say, but very few *write* a good question or display research skills. Anyway, this is a tool focused on Power Answerers, who already saw too much. <kbd> [![][ss]][ss]</kbd> ♦ The diamond icon was on the very [stack sprite][sosp]. So took the liberty to use it and make our very own moderator menu :) --- ##Usage Adjust the votes, views and reputation thresholds, select if questions with accepted answers should be hidden, enable the filter and save. To disable, just uncheck the *Enable filter* option and save. <kbd> ![ss2][ss2]</kbd> The ranges can be modified using the button <kbd>(?)</kbd>: <kbd> ![ss3][ss3]</kbd> --- ##Installing - For now, *the script is only compatible with Chrome*. - A **browser extension for managing user scripts is required**, like [Tampermonkey][TM] or other similar extensions. - After installing the extension, clicking the ["download / install"][DL] button below should bring up a dialog asking if you want to install the script. > ### [<kbd>Install with Tampermonkey</kbd>][DL] > <sub>[View source][source]</sub> --- ##Code Unfortunately, I couldn't manage to make the sliders work on Firefox.
