also - to make the score pertinent: - either cap underlying comment scores at 50 points OR - instead of giving a percentage score for a comment's proportion of total comment points, rank comments in terms of lowest positive score to highest positive score: then give each comment a score between 1-10 by segmenting the long tail into 10 even parts. (the initial ranking may not even need to be used) having no visible scores seems surreal.
