Thanks. Now instead of abrasiveness it's abrasiveness without context. Is your software just not capable of hiding things without "detaching" them, or is there reasoning behind this incomprehensible moderation policy?
- dang 10y agoI'm not sure I understand your question. But I shiver at the wrath of Hacker News were we to "just" hide things.
- juped 10y agoBy that I mean "hide from people without showdead", of course. (I have it on.) The question is "why do you move moderated comments from where they were to the top level?".
- dang 10y agoUsually we do that so we can mark the detached subthread off-topic, which makes it fall in rank. In this case we didn't add that extra penalty, but detaching it from the top subthread had much the same effect.
