I don’t like this idea, so far. I don’t see any good way of adding this to the UI nicely, and for most such conversations my response would be “I walked away from the computer for a week and so didn’t check any such box”
What about adding a drop-down list box to the right of “Vote up | Vote down” etc? Or below that line? The selected message can be displayed in the same space for others to see.
I guess this feature wouldn’t be useful for a user who comments on a few threads and then leaves for a week. But there are also extended discussions between regulars here that end without anyone except the author of the parent of the last comment knowing why.
