I do not think this is a good idea. I've already looked through the list of noobcomments and without any context, I have no interest in looking to see if they are relevant or not.

The issue with the current model is that all I see is a list of green comments. What articles are they related to, what other discussions are they replying to?

Realize my comments come from the perspective of someone with 8600+ karma. I won't be silenced by this, but most people that come afterwords will be.

Its a bad, bad idea.
