Such comments may be from a user who is shadowbanned. If you think it's a good comment, vouch for it.

Vouching implies that the comment is flagged, no? I am talking about comments that are grayed out, but not marked as flagged or dead.

Ah. Shadowbanned are dead - greyed all the way out, and they say "[dead]". That's what I thought you meant when you said "totally greyed out".

Good comments that are grey, but not dead, I tend to upvote, because they're getting jumped on for no good reason.
