A comment system is a whole ’nother ball of wax. Who is qualified to comment? Who moderates the comments? What kind of moderation is used? Experience suggests that the comments section—even if thoroughly moderated to get rid of spam and trolls—will become a place where people insert opinions that are mostly either completely unrelated to the article, or result from not reading the article, or just downright wrong. A possibility would be non-anonymous comments based on some sort of reputation system like the various stackoverflow-related sites.

yes, I mean the latter, reputation-based, but potentially anonymized, so that only serious replies are allowed.
