Best Comments (with no points)
- ascendant 15y agoI like it, but I think if it is not a top-level comment it should include whatever it is responding to for context. Maybe some sort of subtle (or not subtle) indicator of what is the best comment vs what the context is.
- tokenadult 15y agoI think if it is not a top-level comment it should include whatever it is responding to for context. I hear you, but what I have done whenever I browse the top-scoring comments view of HN shared here is simply follow the "parent" link that appears on each comment when I want to know what prompted the comment. Sometimes I can tell well enough what the context is just from quoted text in the comment (when participants who comment remember to quote text from comments to which they are replying) or from the title of the submission thread.
- ascendant 15y agoMaybe then a setting you can toggle to display the parent?
- vinhboy 15y agoForgive me for saying this, but I NEED to know what the hive-mind likes. I need the points. Without the points I might as well be reading some random blog comment that could have been created by a spam bot. I probably wouldn't know the difference.
- stingraycharles 15y agoIf something is severely downmodded, it will still appear light-gray, so you are still able to recognize those.
- makmanalp 15y agoAggg. While I'm pro no-score, this might be one case in which score is nice to know.
