Show HN: Classifier and browser extension to detect rule violating HN comments

https://classify.stylometry.net/
4•costco•41m ago
I love HN, but lately I have been sick of reading the same dismissive criticisms over and over again. Along with political arguments that have been litigated to death, people's issues with smooth scrolling on blogs, etc. Many of these comments do not get flagged for whatever reason. So I made a service to automatically classify whether comments violate (a modified form of) the HN guidelines automatically. In addition there's a Chrome extension to collapse these comments (if they violate your score thresholds) so you don't have to read them too. You can also just watch guideline violating comments as they are posted on the home page.

Here's more info on how it works: https://classify.stylometry.net/how-it-works
