Suggestion: Remove digg/bury controls from profile pages
UX and platform civility suggestion here. I think the digg/bury controls should be removed from profile pages – at least when viewing the comment pivot, but possibly also posts. The current UX facilitates (and in some ways, I would say *encourages* even though I don't think it's intentional) a behavior that IMO is fundamentally unhealthy for the platform: traversing to a profile after encountering a post/comment that really pisses you off, and then having a one-stop shop to start systematically burying everything from the user. When people are able to do this directly from the profile, not only does the extremely low effort barrier make that behavior more likely, it also allows them to vote without having to see/understand the context of the comment.
