This is exciting! I look forward to seeing the vouch feature in action. I notice a certain classes of stories regularly being flagged off the homepage, mainly those that deal with racism or sexism in the tech community. Being able to rescue quality stories on those topics should provide some interesting fodder for discussion.

I'd like to be optimistic. Yet the issue I experience with stories on those topics is that the discussions tend to attract trolling behavior and the exact sort of expressions of outrage that behavior seeks to evoke. To me, the quality issue isn't the story. It's the counterproductive comments.
