quick trick

I'm talking about holding my KQ of the same suit [horrible, horrible bridge joke]

Essentially you can search the comment sections of all subreddits directly by adding a /comments to any sub's URL (thus reddit.com/r/askhistorians/comments).

it's not a perfect solution but it does help you find posts that have answers especially when not on the front page. I often use a mixture of skimming frontpage and skimming through /comments to get the most out of this sub.

it also helps answer /u/ProbeOne concern on the rules round-table

This is especially pertinent to the discussion at hand as most threads end up clogged with deleted replies. A thread with a quality reply and five followup questions looks identical at face value to a thread with six deleted spam posts advertising mens hair gel to hapless hairless historians.

the spam posts will not show up in /comments but the followup questions will and will help the answered question stick around a bit and for highly upvoted posts to distinguish between ones with answers and ones without them.

Thoughts?

the downside is you can see when submissions have been removed and a mod comments on that removal but those comments are short and easy to breeze past.
