Thanks guybrush. Agree/disagree is interesting, but many comments make multiple points, or don't assert a position. It might feel odd to apply it universally. Would it encourage debate? What is the difference between agree/disagree, and a rating system? Would a 1-5 star rating system be better or worse? The child number is an interesting idea as well, and would be easy to implement. We do show badge number. Alternate types of badges or appreciation is worth considering. Not a suggestion at all, but it's worth contemplating how the addition of a heart icon that did nothing but count 'likes' would affect the discourse. Are the links based on those domains linked in the comment? I think I am going to test out how it looks to have share counts and/or child counts in the comment info.
