Now how about fixing the "Report this comment" feature and adding more overt moderation to do something about the resident trolls who contaminate this site for jollies? Why not make people register BEFORE being able to comment, or better yet make them log in with a FB account that shows their faces next to their remarks. I guarantee that would run away about 75% of the trolls.

Yes, it's a nice new layout but a whole new approach is also needed too.
