Allow commenters themselves to publicly flag their own comments to prevent them from accruing karma. Call it the "sincerity" flag. Actually, this is my #1 top feature request for HN, period.

Do comment flags currently have any affect beyond signaling to pg and the moderators that the comment should be looked at? Specifically, does flagging a comment (perhaps enough times) actually prevent that comment from obtaining any more karma?
