This has been suggested before, but perhaps the ability to vote separately on "good/bad contribution" and "agree/disagree" would be a good thing. If nothing else, it might give the "agree/disagree" folks a way to express their views without affecting the sorting (which should be by "good/bad contribution", I hope most would agree).
- moe 16y agoI vote both "good contribution" and "agree" on your comment. Your two metrics pretty much nail what I want to know to quickly skim a dense comments page. They don't even need to be numbers, a small graphical representation might work even better. Just give my eyes something to lock on, from there I will likely read the sub-thread regardless of votes anyways. The current state is awful. Just take this thread, with currently 180 comments. No chance am I going to skim even half of them to pick out the good ones. I read the top few, scroll down a little, and then quickly lose interest. - That's the new HN for me.
