Really dislike the Civil Comments requirement that commenters rate other comments before posting, especially since they are usually presented without full context ("Sorry! We don't seem to have an excerpt for this article").  I also dislike the whole "group think" tenor of the system.  Although I'm no fan of facebook, at least  people could individually block trolls or people who they found objectionable.  All that was needed was a way to block spammers and I assume that can be done in this age of technology.
