Idea: have an option to tag a comment as fluff.

Fluffy comments wouldn't have upvote and downvote arrows/thumbs.

The hide fluff button changes to a view of the comment database that omits them.

Once the reader gets bored of being all serious, all the time a simple click on the show fluff button brings them all back, until the reader gets their fill of candy-floss comments.

I like, but do not know how hard this would be to implement.

Slrn would get into the neighborhood-- it's a system for scoring comments by author, strings in the text and subject line, etc.
