It's actually blinding. I would be nice keep regular comments normal, high ranked comments darker and low ranked comments really light, rather than normal light, low really light, and high normal.

oh cool...they are finally shading the comments as per its rank.
can we lowest rank a comment and highest rank another so we can see the difference in contrast?

Ugh it's unreadable, some of us are using TN panels you know...
I'm glad to see that they can make things unreadable with comment shading but-- we'll let me test this..
Yeah, no post edits.
Dude, if a comment is neutral, maybe people still want to be able to read it.
well the good thing is you can skip over to the useful comments easily....i guess they can tune the neutral ones to be a bit darker.
I say: highest, highly, and neutral fully black
light on low, and lowest are gone
ya... enough low ranks should make them disappear BUT they should all go 100% on roll over since often the idiocy is quite amusing :)
my $.02
neutral should be darker. this is annoying.
only penalize the "low ranked"
Corystal's idea is good. Hide low ranks and add a "show comment" link instead.

... fuck...
The difference between neutral and high rank seems rather subtle. At least in Firefox.
