You're making the assumption that people want this.
They don't.
- RegW 11y agoAgreed. 16 people post the same comment 45 seconds after the article goes online (without reading it properly). 8 people post more thoughtful but identical comments 15 minutes later. I wake up 16 hours after the article goes online and post my tuppence worth into a rely to whatever is at the top. (without bothering to read the other 362 comments).

The people out to cause trouble who seem to get off on the reaction to poor comments are more likely to be put off by the lack of immediacy than those who are more interested in a proper debate and take their time writing something well thought out and coherent.
