Would a system to automatically delete comments with a low enough score be supported by the community? So that comments would collapse at -3 and be deleted at, say, -10 or -20. I'm not in favor of the idea, but I'm interested to hear if others would be.

Currently you can choose the threshold for hiding comments: click on "preferences" on the right. I've turned mine off, because I like to see all the comments. I'd be open to adding an option for "don't even show there was a comment here," but I'd like the comments to be preserved in case someone wants to see them.

Maybe not deleted but simply locked so that no-one can post in them. Should stop any painful soul-draining, ultimately pointless arguements. Of course, if the subject is posted again then it's definitely spamming, and the mods should delete the repost and ban those responsible,

I'd support deleting heavily downvoted comments that do not have upvoted descendants.
