Being unreadable by non-members was a bug that I just fixed. Bad comments are
only intended to be collapsed, but other than that they can still be read and
commented on.

It is actually three at this moment, but the trigger mechanism can be tuned
up, like using the average rate instead, or a combination of both. In any
case I trust the community will use the voting system with some common sense,
it is just intended to discourage trolls and posts that don't follow the
community guidelines. It also makes easier to tag either comments or posts
for manual moderation if needed.
