I've put some thoughts into it as well. By doing that you create a new problem :
pushing crappy stories to the frontpage and scaring new users away. For a website like HN that doesn't need or want new users that's a good thing. But for a reddit, hypem, etc... the best solution, IMO, is to trust people browsing /r/new to do the work for the others.
