This is exactly what can occasionally be seen here on HN, although I believe the mods here do an incredible job of tailoring the ranking algorithm to not magnify the problem too much.

In many ways I think maybe HN is an example of how you can make the comment down vote work.

Reddit is another example, but it's hit and miss if a subreddit is good quality or not.

The difference between HN and Reddit to me is that HN has consistently higher quality comments.

Will be interesting to see how down votes will affect Twitter.
