Comment is free, but some are less abusive than others

Good to see that the Guardian is getting a little more web 2.0 with its comment moderation over on Comment is free. I like Cif, but the comment streams tend to be 50% comment, 50% abuse. Which is a shame, because it tends to damage the quality of debate on there. So now you can recommend which comments are useful - a bit like Amazon does with which reviews are useful on its site. Let's hope that helps sift out the abuse and brings the wisdom of the crowd, rather than it's other features to the fore*.
* I should declare an interest here: someone posted up my biog on there, before laying into me, the first time a wrote a peice for Cif!
