> On occasion, there's an interesting comment or post that's killed and then you're completely prevented from commenting on it. I'm not a fan of this system where just 1 overly emotional hothead can kill a great discussion. There's even a point to being able to comment on spam: like giving people information to protect themselves or report the spam to a particular web host/law-enforcement agency. > Creating another account is trivial, but I suppose some form of anonymous posting might be useful in certain discussions. The admins would obviously know who your account belongs to, weeding out much of the potential for spam or abuse. > I do enjoy text-based discussions, but there's occasions where posting a diagram could simplify many discussions. Without making HN into a full-fledged image board, I wouldn't mind some kind of limited use image uploading functionality built-in.
