I suppose that's true if people would really take a decrease in karma as a reason not to post a comment.

If people are doing that, they probably should be punished for it.

I'll see about adding the ability to vote down comments that weren't posted for not being posted.

My (somewhat limited) knowledge of Python suggests to me that this would not be an easy task; I daresay it might be nearly impossible.

But I agree - we should implement something like that if we can.

You are evil.

I have to know - in what sense did you mean this? "not morally good"? "deviously scheming to align the world with my preferences"? "hates paladins"?

For now, I'll just take it as a compliment.
