I also think that giving users more filtering options is a better solution than the typical moderator formula. Moderating lots of comments can get out of hand and wild very quickly even if the Mods are excellent. Hopefully as Hubski's userbase grows it will give us greater and greater tools for filtering comments/content based on OUR preferences with a little input from the community rather than depending solely on moderators and mass voting (a la reddit). As a side question, as more users come onto hubski, will each users vote still count as one dot on the hub? That seems like its going to end up with almost all posts and comments at a full 8 dot hub rather than the nice gradient we see now.

I've always wondered about that. Will it go 'round and 'round like the user wheel?
I would think we'd adjust for traffic, but even if we didn't that would make for one heck of a statement if a post had zero, wouldn't it?
Gotta say, the lack of a downvote/lack of ability for posts to get 'buried' if people disagree with them is a difference I've slowly noticed and grown to appreciate through my time on Hubski. Silence - aka, the zero-dot hubwheel - says enough to me. I like it.
