Posts that ive seen with hidden comments have them listed at the very bottom, making them pretty easy to miss for most people on long posts. I guess what i have to wonder is why should we allow someone to control the replies _that other people see_ to their posts. Like my post about the flags, and the reasons i thought you were wrong -- wouldnt it have been kind of shitty if i could have just completely hidden your rebuttals (not that id do something like that, but as an example). And yeah, people could click on the greyed out thingy to see what you said. But some people. maybe even most people wont. The whole purpose of the greying out/putting it at the bottom, is to make it less visible. Just as an example, a couple weeks ago, i noticed a top-of-trending post that was completely plagarized. I wrote a comment, a couple whales noticed and the post ended up losing most of its reward. Would it have if the poster had the power to hide critical comments? But even beyond downvoting, the ability to hide dissenting comments takes away the incentive to rebut them. It detracts from engagement and debate.

Yeah I am not proposing that. I'd like to see something that doesn't show any of that. Like I said maybe an ICON at the top of the post that ONLY appears if the post has been moderated of things hidden. You could click on that to unhide everything in that post and it'd display just like a normal post. You could even interact and have conversations on completely hidden parts of the post. You could use that and get rid of that SHOW/HIDE and ghosted posts stuff...

I spoke with someone the other day that thinks trolls should be able to troll on here without penalty to attract more people. I don't find interacting with trolls something I like to engage in, but if that could be hidden and then other people could unhide it they could go to town interacting with each other and trolling back and forth and I'd not care. This of course would be different from a down vote. I wouldn't be penalizing their comment. Just wouldn't want the trolling spamming my post. On the otherhand, I am likely not to use this myself. So take this just as an example... I've only muted one person since July. You can also count my down votes probably on one hand... maybe more than that, but definitely two hands would suffice.
