   >Kill Low-Scored Articles   
   >This rule will mark low scored articles as "Read" - Scoring does not do   
   >this, but we can use article scores in rules. We will "Enable' this rule   
   >so that it works automatically on incoming articles.   
   >First, select a score threshold value to "Kill" articles. We will use -999.   
   >With this rule, incoming articles scored -999 or less (more negative) will   
   >be marked read.   
   >For this rule to do anything, we assume there are score entries in the   
   >Scoring dialog that will add up to the threshold value.   
   >1. graphic Open the Rules Editor (Tools - Rules)   
   >2. Create ("Add") a Rule and give it a name   
   >3. On the Conditions Tab:   
   >Enter -999 in "Article score is more than .."   
   >Press the "NOT" Button   
   >ADD the condition with the "Add Condition" button   
   >  It should look like this in the editor window:   
   >  Not   
   >  Score > -999   
   >If you "Added" the score first, don't worry. Press the NOT button and then   
   >move "NOT" to the top with the "Line Up" button.   
   >4. On the "Actions" Tab: Select an action, we will use this:   
   >   * mark as read   
   >3. Optional: On the "General" tab, specify which groups will be affected   
   >   by the rule (or leave it to apply to all articles)   
   >4. Important Step: For this rule to function automatically, when get back   
   >   to the main rule page, click the button Enable/Disable (we want it   
   >   enabled) so that the rule applies to incoming articles.   
   >Additional Notes:   
   >Gravity performs scoring internally before rules are evaluated so this   
   >works, however;   
   > * If you have a Rule that adjusts articles scores, it should be placed   
   >   before this rule in the rule order. Remember, Rules are evaluated in   
   >   order.   
   >Some more example options for a rule like this:   
   > * Set the rule to apply only to certain groups (in the General Tab)   
   > * Delete (discard) the articles (BE VERY CAREFUL that you know the rule   
   >   working properly - it is better to mark articles read until you are   
   >   satisfied that it works as intended).   
   >You do not have to enable this rule. You could browse through articles   
   >first and run this manually.
