This is what I use:
* Temporarily lower score by 200 on current Message-ID
* Temporarily lower score by 200 on current thread
* Hide current thread and move to next

#v+
(defun my-gnus-lower-thread ()                            ; lower thread score
     "Permanently lower score for a whole (sub)thread."
     (interactive)
     (kmacro-exec-ring-item (quote ([?\C-2 ?\C-0 ?\C-0 ?\C-0 ?L ?i ?e ?t ?\C-m] 
0 "%d")) nil) ; message-id
     (kmacro-exec-ring-item (quote ([?\C-2 ?\C-0 ?\C-0 ?\C-0 ?L ?t ?f ?t ?\C-m] 
0 "%d")) nil) ; thread
     (gnus-summary-hide-thread)
     (gnus-summary-next-thread 1))
#v-

Unfortunately, the process seems to be quite slow, and could not find any
suitable function to call instead of replaying keystrokes.

BTW, on some cases it seems to not work (what seem as replies to a lowered
thread do not get automatically lowered), but I'm not sure if that's because
other people's MUAs are breaking the headers.
