    Reputation is part of the problem. If you prejudge based on who is saying something, you are no longer looking at the ideas but how much you like the person saying them.

    It happens here on soylent just as much as elsewhere. Some people, regardless of current quality, will be modded up or down based on past behavior. We are not in middleschool. Discussions should not be popularity contests.

    I disagree. My time is limited so sometimes I prefer to read just the higher scoring comments or of those people I know. Seeing the names can help direct away too. I have a couple of friends on here that I'll occasionally avoid if I'm not in the mood to read their kind of comments. They can be a little trollish at times with certain topics, but I like them anyway as they usually (but not always) have something interesting to say. Other times when I have more time to kill, I'll head in for the anonymous coward comments and see what they are saying and try to add a few points here and there as appropriate so others doing the same thing as me have an opportunity to see the interesting AC comments.

    At least, that's how I play the game. I suspect many others do that too.

    And? If this were an erudite platform frequented by people sharing deep and worthy thoughts I could see the problem. But it's an internet message board - the quality of comments (my own most definitely included) only rarely climbs to the level to be seen when any group of reasonably intelligent people gather for drunken carousing. We're here to share thoughts, play with ideas, and try to convince ourselves that it's not a pathetic third-rate alternative to actually having interesting conversations with real friends (and/or enemies) with whom we spend time on a regular basis. Recognition and "relationships" within the community help to soothe the social void that drove us here in the first place.

    Granted, if you make more than passing use of the moderation system you're going to miss a lot of good stuff, but I suspect most people likely to leave a comment worth reading recognize that and browse at 0 or lower anyway, so it acts as sort of a self-selecting filter.
