If someone is new and their comments get reported (because people disagree? or must there be a violation of the site guidelines), then the comment would be marked as dead and thus hidden? Who can vouch for these users then? Is there an upvote/downvote mechanism too that’s not visible to me because I’m a new user?

There’s an account setting to show dead comments.

You may also need some minimum amount of karma to vouch, not sure.
