Another reason we meed collapsable threads here. You'll never stop "noise" entirely, but bullshit threads that sparked by OT comments could be easily snipped with collapsable threads.
- rcavezza 11y agoThere's a chrome extension that automatically makes threads collapsible on HN. https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/hacker-news-collapsible-c/hockhafcdegocajmjhafgjncjpodihkd?hl=en https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/hacker-news-collap...

- dtnewman 11y agoIf you use chrome, there is a good extension that adds in collapsable comments: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/hacker-news-collapsible-c/hockhafcdegocajmjhafgjncjpodihkd https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/hacker-news-collap...
- cmg 11y agoI've been using the Hacker News Enhancement Suite[1] for a while in Chrome. Among RES-style features like keyboard navigation it also enables collapsable threads. The source[2] is available on GitHub.

- Mandatum 11y agoI think dang and the mod team are still doing a 'good enough' job at moderating, removing and warning the 'bullshit'. I see dang telling people off for breaking rules every day. To implement collapsable threads would hide unpopular, but still valid comments and opinions which I don't believe is a fair, or 'in the spirit' of HN.
