In reply to Charles Siegel. Hidden (by downvotes) comments can still be viewed, you just have to click a link to reveal them. A combination of word filters, warnings, IP bans for pernicious trolls, and allowing users to self-police is how most sites that use Disqus handle comment sections so that they don’t take up an overwhelming amount of time.

Comment on Berkeleyside is retiring comments on stories. Here’s why. by Max
In reply to FlatlanderToo. @FlatlanderToo: But Berkeleyside wants to shape the opinion and wants to stirr the city in a specific direction not report on it. Comments that feature other opinions are not helpful that way. What boarders me about this is the hypocracy. One one hand "free speech" "express yourself", "be who you are" etc…. On the other hand censorship, yelling at people, cancel them, get them fired, boycot them, and even harass them at home or at school or any other public way. It seems the free speech and express yourself only applies to the extreme left. It goes only one way it seems.
