Exactly, in this, the rich only get richer if they continue posting valid comments.

Otherwise they get poor real fast.

No, they get poor based on how many previous comments are being averaged in.

So someone with a huge number of highly rated comments, could make a lot of dumb comments before it started hurting them.

I'm sure pg will come up with an appropriate formula.
