Some forums allow comments and (directly or indirectly) users to earn
formal reputation. You mark comments (and maybe users) as good or bad,
helpful, unhelpful, etc. Over time, people who contribute to useful
conversation theoretically rise to the top while those comments and
individuals who don't show up farther down the page or in a different color
or whatever method it seems produces the most value.
My own opinion is that a forum would add value, but not act as a
replacement for this or other venues for discussion.

Could you explain what it means to "vote people
up?"
It sounds like one would have to be "voted up" to be able to comment.
I'm not sure I would call any of the discussions I've read flooded.
