It would be interesting to see an implementation that lets you view but not interact with removed content. click the spam tag to see all the spam, grayed out.

It would be interesting to see an implementation that lets you view but not interact with removed content. click the spam tag to see all the spam, grayed out. in some cases it might be helpful to know what not to say, or that something has already been said and removed. /r/askhistorians would probably be a place where marking something as removed but visible would not be as at risk of propagating urban legend or bad history. hopefully that community would know what they are getting when they peak beneath the curtain.
- Natanael_L 6y agoOn reddit you can do that natively for a whole thread by locking, but for individual comment chains you can only do it with mod bots.
- dmoy 6y agoYou can individually lock comments now (new as of a year ago?), but in practice it is incredibly painful/time consuming to do so for a whole subthread of comments. Eventual consistency also sucks there. Easier to nuke the whole thread and remove it from view.
