Just value the vote in some proportional manor based on its location on the page.

For example: voting for the top comment only adds 0.1 to the comment_score but voting for the bottom comment adds 2.0 to its comment_score, etc.



Someone else also suggested this, here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5430541

I think it'd be hard to assign the 0.1, ..., 2.0 wheights "correctly"? How would one know if the current choice of weights make things better, or perhaps even worse (if you overdo it).
