I wonder if there is a way of measuring the 'temperature' of a thread, and representing this in the forum index with a colour-coded thermometer? There's probably an algorithm or site/user set AI that could handle this.
What I mean is that where a thread starts as a decent discussion or debate, the thread temperature would be nice and low [blue].
As the trigger phrases such as 'show your workings' or 'calm down' start to appear we see a mild warning of a rise in temperature [green].
Then we see strings like 'idiot', 'tvvat' and so on, and we see a little [yellow] jobby.
And so on, and so forth to the thermonuclear [red]. Could even have a little thread temperature timeline plot beside the list item in the forum index.
Obviously the algorithm would take into account the bouts of singles insult tennis rallies that indicate a pretty high temperature.
Then when a thread such as...
...degenerates to such a point that its no longer worth reading unless you're only interested in ego wars, we could all save our time and do something else instead. [Post edited 7 Aug 2019 9:22]

Quite easy to see in Thread View. If the discussion becomes extremely thin down the right hand side of the page, then it's either very interesting or rather acrimonious.
Just requires lots of scrolling. |  |

Perhaps I should use a narrower monitor then  .
BTW by 'list view' I meant the forum index (edited), thread view really gets up my goat, Fletch. | |

Would be fairly easy with sentiment analysis. |  |

It only hits peak when someone does a brain whoopsie and goes on holiday from the board. |  |
