Seconded. I'd also like to see something implemented to control the contrast on downvoted/dead entries.
Either collapse them ala reddit or give me the option to disable the low contrast view.
In case anyone is wondering, 'flag' and 'vouch' links don't appear beside comments in threads. You have to go to the comment's individual page (linked from its timestamp) to see them.
Good change, by the way. Don't know how many times I've (probably fruitlessly) commented next to a dead comment to point out that they're unknowingly accidentally shadowbanned.
