I've often wondered if disabling voting and using contest sorting on contentious threads by default would help with this.

  Contest sorting?

    I might be misnaming it, but basically top-level responses are in a random order and child comments are auto-hidden (but can still be expanded). I'm sure there would be some tweaks necessary to make it work for HN, and maybe it includes voting or doesn't.

    > Contest sorting? This is a thread mode on reddit where answers to a post are hidden by default and scores are masked. I'm not sure how efficient it is at limiting petty internet fights though.

      How does that work if voting is disabled?
