Feature Request DU3: Hide/Highlight thread by subject keyword for X days, then release

[Poll_Blind]

This is about the Weiner threads, specifically, but it really applies to any topic that sort of washes over General. It would allow you to put any thread whose original OP has a certain keyword in the subject line (at least 3 characters, say) on auto-hide and then the rule that you've made deletes itself after, say, 3-5 days. Or the same thing, but which highlights (in some way) those same articles for you. So, for instance, currently I'm avoiding the Weiner threads but I'm very interested in the Fukushima ones. So instead of hiding those, I'd like to have something bringing them to my attention.

Just wanted to make that request, I suppose there might be elements of that which could be difficult to implement but I think for I and a lot of other users would get a lot of value out of the ability to sort of customize our experience (and the information we're exposed to) that way. The self-deletion of the rule after X days isn't really important to the core request, but it could be a nice touch.

Thanks a lot!

1. We plan to program functionality like this on DU3.

It probably will not be available at the time of launch. But we will do it.
