Well, crap. I have no idea why or when it happened but the Threshold setting when using Threaded-TOS appears to be non-functional at the moment. It's supposed to set the value below which a comment and any of its subcomments will be collapsed, unless a subcomment is over the Breakthrough value which should cause that comment only to be expanded. Right now it's functioning as if Threshold were set to 6. I never noticed it because I have both settings set to -1.
I can't monkey with it right this second but I'll see if I can get it fixed some time this weekend. Just a hotfix patch to the live code not a full site update.
Beats doing construction work in the rain I suppose.
Update: Okay, I can't fix something that ain't broke and TOS is functioning as intended. I just forgot that Threshold applied only to top-level comments, all subcomment trees should be collapsed by default, and Breakthrough was the setting for subcomments to show up no matter what. This doesn't make sense to me but then I'm not the one who decided it should function like that and I don't use TOS. If you lot want it to function differently or want a new mode that's similar, drop your insipid inspired ideas here and if there's enough demand I'll put it on the todo list.

if I don't read at -1/-1 I feel like I'm missing something

Yeah, the opposing opinion, sadly SN is just like reddit a hivemind, even worse as if you want to keep your mod points you better behave or they will mod you out of the mod pool, on reddit you can keep posting no matter how many downvotes your comment got

You can here too. Anyone who's been here a month or more and isn't mod-banned gets ten points a day unless they have "willing to moderate" unchecked in their settings, karma has nothing to do with it.

Is it broken on firefox? I click this button and it just reloads the page with button at top, used to get a dropdown so assumed that's what broke it?

No, works fine in Firefox. It redirects you to the page you just left, to an anchor at the comment with the highest cid that you moderated. You don't get a message, just returned to where you left off with your shiny, new moderation applied to the comment.
PSA: You can select several moderations on the same page and just click any Moderate button to moderate them all at once.

Doesn't work for me, I really thought it was because I dropped under 10 karma, it just brings the 'moderate' button to the top of the page and that's it
