Title says it all really. It seems daft that the people most interested in a particular story are actively prevented from moderating it. What's more, I can mod comments until I comment myself. So should I make sure I've got all my moderating done before I comment?

What this does is accentuate the existing problem of "the earlier you comment, the higher you will be modded". I come back to see if there are any more comments in a thread I commented on, and find there are but I can only reply to them - I can't mod them up. So all the people down the bottom of the page are at their initial score, because the only people who are reading those comments can't mod them.
