I show flagged and show dead too. Disappearing OT/ads/extreme ad hominems is a positive thing imo. I vouch for things that I disagree with if they make good points. I have flagged things.

I still bemoan the removal of downvote scores, and still wish for Slashdot-style voting, meta-moderation, and personalition of content scores.
