It would be nice to simply eliminate the advantage that uninformed posts enjoy. If you shoot from the hip, your comment is first and will be seen by a lot more people. A forum could instead queue up comments and only display them after a half hour has passed. People who come to the article later will still be at a disadvantage but at least this would be something. On the other hand, you'd probably get a lot of duplicate remarks... which would be less than interesting.
