Just value the vote in some proportional manor based on its location on the page.
For example: voting for the top comment only adds 0.1 to the comment_score but voting for the bottom comment adds 2.0 to its comment_score, etc.

How would one know if the current choice of weights make things better, or perhaps even worse (if you overdo it).
