Not username. That would make it harder to know when you're having a back-and-forth, and that changes the nature of the discussion. Removing points would be a good idea, though - is there any advantage to having that visible beforehand?
- diN0bot 18y agoknowing you're having a back and forth with the same person is one cause of long flame wars. not knowing who you're talking to keeps things less emotional and more polite. i think. the advantage of seeing points is the same as seeing orange usernames. it allows people to decide which comments they want to read.
- unalone 18y agoNah. Think about 4chan. When you remove usernames you encourage trolling more than you do lengthy responses. I think if you're going to read, you might as well read everything that isn't grayed out with downvotes.
