I've been thinking a lot about this. The poisonous (over-the-top sarcastic, slanderous, personal, mean-spirited) comments are really so unwelcome. I had a look back at the Feb/10 and Feb/09 comments, just for ratio's sake. As expected, with so many more RTH participants now, there comes so many more unproductive comments. I'm thinking again that maybe a multiple voting system may be needed, since voting seems to be very much a concern. How about buttons (with totals, as now) for "Good Post," "Offensive," "Agree," and "Disagree"? Perhaps the issue of a good post vs agreement/disagreement needs to be separated, as the up/down arrows are currently being used for different reasons. As for the "Offensive" button, we could attach a threshold of 7 (lucky #7) and then have the comment disappear entirely, that is, if the "Offensive" button was used properly. Just pondering...
