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.But is fading the comment really the correct behaviour. Isn't the position on the page deciding whether the community agrees with the comment?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.
