Ask HN: Can we please try pending comments?

Look through the "comments" in this thread:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7472699

...and explain to me how this site hasn't devolved into Reddit. Would it really be so awful to try pending comments as a two or four week experiment?



I seem to have missed the part where pending comments was nixed. Anyone care to enlighten me?

Thanks.


Turns out the plan was changed. I didn't know either, so I searched pg's comment history until I found something definitive. Pending comments are now per thread, and off by default: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7475834


Thank you very much. Really glad to see they decided to make this a mod tool on an as needed basis rather than site-wide.

Have a great day.
