Style for [closed], hide deleted comments
- Style for [closed]
A couple of minor UI suggestions:### Style for [closed]- While ```[closed]``` is clear and unambiguous, it really doesn't stand out in a list of posts. Can we have a colored background (like the reddish background for a deleted comment or answer when viewing a post, but a different color) for posts that have been marked [closed]? That would make it super-easy to scan down a list of posts and skip (or alternatively, focus on if you're looking for posts to consider reopening) any posts that have been closed.
### Deleted commentsIn places where I can see deleted comments (admin/moderator, possibly also comments I wrote myself and deleted (not sure if that's the case or not)), they should be secondary to the active comments. Specifically, I found a post where there have been many comments, and several of the older ones have been deleted. Because there are many comments, only the first 'n' are displayed when initially viewing the post. But because there are many deleted comments, I have to click for "more" in order to see the ones that are actually active and relevant.I suggest one of the following:* Whenever there are deleted comments, show something like ```3 Deleted Comments``` with a button/link to display the details in-line.* If there are more than 'n' comments such that not all comments are initially displayed, and there are any groups of 2 or more deleted comments within 'n', then display any deleted comments as ```3 Deleted comments``` etc. as noted above and count the notice of deleted comments as if it were 1 comment. Example, with n = 8:* 1 active* 3 deleted* 2 active* 4 deleted* 5 activeCurrent display: 1 active, 3 deleted, 2 active, 2 deleted, "more = 7"Proposed display: 1 active, 1 deleted placeholder, 2 active, 1 deleted placeholder, 3 active, "more = 2"
