So its basically community moderation and you should "Only rescue civil, substantive contributions to the site". In a sense, I think its something you only do as a special-type thing, but one vouch on a post won't rescue it (there need to be multiple vouches if I understand it correctly)...so vouch if you want to, but make sure you're doing it for the right reasons.
- jnbiche 7y ago> but one vouch on a post won't rescue it I've been able to consistently save dead comments with a single vouch, so I presume it only takes one, at least for some level of HN user.
- yegor256a 7y agoYes, same here. Just one "vouch" rescues a post.
- mindcrime 7y agoSame. FWIW, I've always treated the "vouch" feature as something to be used fairly infrequently, for somewhat exceptional cases. I don't know if that's actually the intent or not, but it "feels" like the kind of thing one shouldn't be doing all the time. shrug
