This is an interesting issue. I think an interesting metric would be a
combination of number of votes which add to a ranking score, and age of
the post which subtracts from it.
Or maybe simply have a couple of buttons which change the sort order:
1. by vote
2. newest first
3. by karma of the poster
4. by number of posts by the poster
5. by a "house blend" of the above (!) If Sönke wants to get really
creative, have an "equalizer" with four sliders to control the weight of
1..4.
I think this would be available in the homebrew thing but not on disqus.
