To mark a comment as dead, only one user needs to flag it, I believe.
All it takes is one user to disagree enough. I've had upvoted comments flagged because there was one user who disagreed enough with it and it was about controversial issues.
- ThrowawayR2 6y ago[dead] usually means the user themselves deleted it, I think. I flag spam comments routinely and it definitely takes more than one user flag to get a comment to the [flagged] state where text is hidden.
- Blikkentrekker 6y agoMaybe more flag it then if the opinion be sufficiently controversial. It was upvoted, however, but it's probably because it's a polarizing opinion that some very much agree with, and others very much dislike.
