Ok, well I implemented it tonight, without any fanciness for now. You
can see it in action on rails.outertrack.com. You can vote comments
up/down/spam.

I also added a quick ranking page:

That's a great idea! I'll add RDoc format as an input option and maybe
make it the default. Should be very quick to do.

I like your other ideas for picking pages that have lots of highly
modded comments. I'll probably implement something along those lines
too.. or err.. feel free to jump in and write a bit of code to do it.

cheers.
