It would make much more sense to provide some sort of useful feedback with a vote, such as Needs Citation, Uncivil, Not Relevant, etc. Once a commenter knew why others are apparently mad at them or disagree with them, they could actually modify their comment or behavior appropriately, rather than just be shamed with gray text. I've been asking for this feature for like 5 years.
