Just to be clear, it is readers themselves who flag and bury comments on HN
- VancouverMan 3y agoSubmissions about Firefox, Mozilla, or Rust that get a lot of comments often remind me how I wish this site had a setting like "showdead", except it disabled all moderation. With that setting enabled, there would be no grayed-out comments, no dead comments, no reordering, and no whatever else might be done based on a comment's ratings. It's annoying how what are often perfectly reasonable comments are obscured or hidden, and it's also annoying having to work around that obstruction just to read them.
- shawnz 3y agoHow would you want the comments to be ordered then, chronologically? Or are you saying you want them ordered by rating, but not colourized or minimized? Note also that you can vouch dead comments with the vouch button if you believe they're reasonable.
