The biggest problem with a linear point count is the large dependency on a comment's visibility and number of impressions, which in turn leaves posters competing for that as much as for inherent comment quality. The implementation would be up for discussion, maybe something like show a comment's positive percentage once it garners a sample size of 5 or 10 votes, and maybe round off to the nearest 10% so you can't triangulate back to the actual score from the change inflicted by your single vote.
