Interesting: in my browser, this comment is both greyed out and upvoted to the top of the list. Does this mean that comment placing is determined by upvotes, and comment greying is determined by downvotes, but those two processes are independent of each other?

Comment placement is by both new-ness and upvotes. So a post that is downvoted immediately sinks faster, but doesn't immediately go to the bottom.
