You could probably reasonably approximate this without too much effort.
The number of votes an article has and the number of comments are both going to be strongly correlated with the number of views per comment. So would the mean and range of the comment scores. You could also take the time since the comment was posted into account.
You could have the visible "raw score" for each comment and an invisible "quality adjusted score" that is used to give each user a quality rating.
