Upvotes * Comments ? Of course that wouldn't be great for one where everyone thought, "yup, that's perfect", upvoted and didn't say much. Upvotes + Comments.

Upvotes * Comments ? Of course that wouldn't be great for one where everyone thought, "yup, that's perfect", upvoted and didn't say much. Upvotes + Comments. Maybe top 10 upvotes, top 10 comments, top 10 multiplied and remove duplicates? Edit: or maybe the cases where "everyone thought" "yup, that's perfect", upvote and no comments is an indication of fraud?

Many comments may mean that the submission is good, or it may mean that the submission is bad and the comments try to show the problems. Usually lot of comments mean more "polemic" than "good".

  Good point. There should definitely be a manual culling of the set of 30 (besides duplicate removal). To make sure there aren't just a bunch of people saying "that idea sucks!" and that there isn't a vote rigged entry (a poorly presented, low commented proposal that magically has a bunch of upvotes).
