Suggestion: Improve Rendering of Muted Comments

Components

Condenser's comment rendering and muting processes.

Proposal

Currently, when an account is muted, comments from it load in the Condenser UI and then once the page has finished loading, they disappear. This is confusing if you do not remember that you muted the account in question and also doesn't exactly deliver full muting, since you are still seeing the comments (if only for a short time on page load).

Ideally, the comments would never be visible at any point in the page load process, but markers would be present to say 'comment muted', also providing a link to allow the account to be unmuted easily.

Mockups / Examples

Here is the current behavior in firefox:

Benefits

The suggested change will improve user experience, fully deliver a total muting function and also facilitate unmuting, which is desirable in a transparent community (it's better for social cohesion to have people unmute each other and work out their differences where possible).
