Title: I was just asking RiderofGiraffes if he had any suggestions for fixing the decreasing quality of comment threads on HN (http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2403449) and it occurred to me that I might as well ask everyone.<p>Anyone have any suggestions?  We're on mostly uncharted territory here.<p>The problem has several components: comments that are (a) mean and/or (b) dumb that (c) get massively upvoted.
