If you retract, can your comment still be voted on? If so, then there's definitely an important power missing.

I know. That is retarded FUCKING piss poor shit gay like your momma is. it also duzent use gramer or spellun and bypasses the primary role of karma. That is, you can now write comments that are immune to voting at the expense of being somewhat obscured. This is a new, undesirable power.

If people go around swearing and insulting others or spamming, or trolling, they should get downvoted to oblivion and not just rely on moderators finding them.

In addition, retracted comments now have the undesirable property of being MORE visible on the page than normal comments -- the strikethrough draws the eye. It'd be better to have a link to view the original comment, e.g. something like:
