On: Why is text of sumissions in low-contrast grey on ...

[kzrdude]

I think it would be good to change. IMO I have learned that downvoted comments are gray, so unconsciously I associate gray comments with suspicion.

I read grey comments and I upvote them if they are not offensive or extremely wrong (or huge walls of text).

I downvote very seldom (like once per week). But I don't downvote grey comments, they are already downvoted. (The exemptions are extremely offensive comments or astronomical wrong comments (but I don't remember someone that was so wrong to deserve piled downvotes).)

Exactly. So the submissions themselves are met with subliminal suspicion because of our training.
