In addition to the header coloring preference, it would be nice to either have a preference to color the text ("new", "threads", "submit" etc) or, failing that, to change the text from black to white for darker header colors.

Currently, with dark colors it's occasionally difficult to read the text.

It would be nice if child comments were foldable.

Can we please have a blockquote markup? And improve the code block markup so that the line width is wider and doesn't require horizontal scrolling?

  This is a code markup example.  The problem I'm seeing is that, lacking a clear blockquote text citing markup, it's also used for citing text.  Which, in the case of long lines, leads to the example I'm trying to replicate here:  a single line of long, horizontally scrolling text.
  Just sayin'.

Please create a variant of 'dead' that indicates to the submitter that the story has been killed. Killing stories without informing the submitter is for spammers and trolls, not people who have demonstrated some value in the past. It seems excessive to treat meta posts just like spammers. It is inhuman to deny feedback to loyal regular users. To kill a story without feedback is to suggest the submitter is beyond help, not worth engaging with.

Please add an option for showing original submission titles.

When titles are changed by mods, it frequently neuters them. From "Today my company came out of stealth mode" becomes "Ex-Facebooker closes $1.4M financing round." Clearly not a change for the better. Please keep a copy of the original title and add an account-wide toggle to switch between moderated and original versions.
