The "cron job" functionality would have to be invoked manually at present but I see what you mean. I couldn't set all the posts as hidden obviously but I could set the thread's status to hidden and for each attempted view of the posts it would have to check the thread was not hidden.
I think there are plans (or at least a request) for routine events; is this bug along those lines? http://code.google.com/p/googleappengine/issues/detail?id=109&colspec=ID%20Type%20Status%20Priority%20Stars%20Owner%20Summary%20Log%20Component It would be useful!
