No, because you can still read things that have been heavily downvoted. Flagging on the other hand can actually make things unreadable.

- pvg 8y agoFlagging doesn't make things unreadable.
- jrs95 8y agoInteresting. Thanks for correcting me on that. I thought I had seen that before; but perhaps that always requires moderator intervention.
- pvg 8y agoThere's a 'showdead' flag you can turn on in the prefs, that will show you stuff that has been flagged to death. When in the very rare cases something gets moderated in a comment (like removing someone's private info), there's a moderator comment saying so.
- jrs95 8y agoI thought I had turned that on but I probably forgot to click “update” afterwards. Thanks!
