>Which is a good reason to add a reply-notification system
I share the view that omitting reply notifications is a good tool to prevent flamewars.
What I would like to have are notifications for entire debates. Right now it is useless to add comments to old submissions because nobody is going to read them. If there were subscribers to debates, the audience could return.
To prevent flamewars, subscribers should only be notified when e.g. 20 comments are added to a debate. That leaves time for everybody to cool off and hopefully creates enough substance that it's worth returning to a debate.
