No, because you can still read things that have been heavily downvoted. Flagging on the other hand can actually make things unreadable.

Flagging doesn't make things unreadable.

Interesting. Thanks for correcting me on that. I thought I had seen that before; but perhaps that always requires moderator intervention.

There's a 'showdead' flag you can turn on in the prefs, that will show you stuff that has been flagged to death. When in the very rare cases something gets moderated in a comment (like removing someone's private info), there's a moderator comment saying so.

I thought I had turned that on but I probably forgot to click “update” afterwards. Thanks!
