But what do propose to do with the graying out feature? Discard it? or make it like the flagging feature, which doesn't have an opposite action? I think it's useful for it to have an opposite action, but then that would mean we have votes for sorting and separate votes for graying out. That seems needlessly complicated, which is what I meant.

My initial inclination is to abandon the graying out. Upvotes may cause the post / comment to float up in relation to it's siblings, but that's about it, other than flagging. I also think it would be interesting to have a separate agree/disagree signal that's independent of quality rating. I can disagree strongly with a well thought out and quality comment, and vice versa. It would be nice to have independent signals, so I could conveniently communicate "I disagree with you, but value the discussion"
