I haven´t read that book, looks interesting.
On the topic of moderation I would suggest the ability to somewhat "follow" good commenters, and even perhaps block bad submitters. This way, reputation is not only karma, but quality of followers.

The later parts of the book (chapter 8 and beyond) seem applicable to the problems HN is facing.
PM me if you want, I'll send you my copy of the book.
