There have been many times when I wanted to use my upvoting ability to unhide a comment that has some merit. To that end, I wish I could see the precise score of downvoted comments. (IIRC, a net score of -1 prevents a majority of HN readers from seeing the comment.)
- detaro 6y ago? -1 score greys out a comment, nothing more
- chrisweekly 6y agoHmm, I seem to recall comments being entirely suppressed from view on reaching some threshold, thought it was -1...
- dang 6y agoDefinitely not. The only comments that are hidden by default are the [dead] ones, and anyone can see them by turning 'showdead' on in their profile. Outright deletion is possible, but only for a few hours, or if the author specifically asks us to later. There have been a handful of exceptions in obscure cases over the years, mostly for legal reasons. Btw, for anyone who has trouble reading a faded comment, you can click on its timestamp to go to its page and the text should be readable.
- artsyca 6y agoyou see how much discussion is happening under a 0-point parent?
- andreareina 6y agoI've seen some. Usually when the non-positive post is something substantive as opposed to a hot take.
