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.
Depends on how it would be used. It's not just the features, but also the social conventions that develop around them. I imagine using "fluff" comments specifically for abusing other people. Or just trolling. Or spamming.
