Here is an idea I can get behind. There are three basic parameters for each top level thread. Age, upvotes, and number of replies. Using a user-defined, weighted average to decide what is seen is a slick idea. I can envision the default being set to X, and then auto-updating with a simple average of all the users' preferences. Probably only dedicated users will likely take the time to use this feature, but that could be a good thing, because it will mean that only users who really care are contributing the the crowd-sourced optimum.Hubski could easily put its parameters on sliders and throw them up on the user page... or even on the comment page itself. Let users fuck with it to get what they wanted.
