I always liked slashdot's comment system back in the day. It allowed you to adjust what you saw and how many points a "funny" post got vs how many an "informative" one got and then set a point threshold based on that. Since then they seem to have eliminated that level of customization so either it wasn't working or they just didn't see it as worth reimplimenting when they moved away from their old code base.

And it wasn't just that - it was the complex system of meta-moderation. How you moderated posts was also scored. One downside was that it could lead to a complete hive mind where your karma was dependent upon how much you thought like others.

  Meta-moderation was indeed a big part of it, and something I never saw _anywhere_ else.
