There are enough bad-faith commenters on HN that I personally would find this very useful.

asking this out of curiosity due to recent reflection on similar - what's stopping us simply not responding to those arguing in bad faith ?

For me, the little red dot is a reminder of "this user has made bad faith comments in the past, I probably shouldn't engage."

As always, the real question is who decides if it's bad faith or not...
