Article Comment Rating


Recommended Posts

Hey guys,

I have been browsing the articles as always, and I struck upon a (perhaps) good idea. Would it be possible to be able to rate comments? In a thumb-up/thumb-down style? I know there are certain comments in certain articles that are generally just trolls, and/or add nothing to the article in which the comment resides, and I thought it might be a nice idea to be able to rank comments.

This would allow us neowinians to rank up comments (and perhaps enhance them to make people focus on them) that add a lot of depth and/or debate to the subject brought up by the article, and hide comments that are the opposite.

Just an idea, and it's probably a dumb one at that, but I thought I'd pitch it. I know that the moderators are here for this too, but it would be nice to rank down comments without having them edited or removed, so that they can be viewed if desired.

I also know there is the "Report Comment" button, but the comment ranking system is more for posts that should receive more or less attention based on their content than have the comment reported for abuse, which should be reported as opposed to (or as well as) being ranked down

p.s. I hope this hasn't been suggested before, I did a quick search and didn't find anything..
