An Update on Hacker News
If I understand the rules correctly, downvoting is used for not agreeing with a comment, and flags are used for inappropriate comments.<p>But is fading the comment really the correct behaviour. Isn't the position on the page deciding whether the community agrees with the comment?<p>My suggestion is: remove the fading; let downvoting only move the comments down, since the comment is appropriate yet the community doesn't agree with it; and let flagging remove inappropriate comments.
