I think we need to nail down on how to present _both_ pinned comments and 10 most recent comments, both of which must be presented before the hidden comments.
Maybe we can have this:
== Top 5 voted comments ==
== Most recent 10 comments ==
== Click to show all comments (most recent first) ==
Any other suggestions?
My suggestion would be this order:
pinned comments
link to show all comments
most recent 10 comments, oldest first
Since the hidden comments would be at the top of the comment section, I think it would make the most sense to have the "show all comments" link above them.
Also, I think the "show all" link should simply revert to the current comment listing, hiding the "pinned comments" list (so that they're simply shown inline according to the time they were sent).
What? We should also vote for comments? WTF?
What's wrong with current system? First you see most recent comments, if you want see all - you just click "See all".
Why overcomplicate everything?

The problem we're trying to solve is lots of old/irrelevant comments. Maybe voting isn't the way to resolve that, it was just an idea that I threw out that Andrew seemed available to.

Well right now you see the very oldest comment first and you have to scroll down to see the newest. Or were you suggesting a different way to show comments? I ask because the suggestion to reverse the comments to newest-first was actually the origin of this thread.

You mean from entry's page? You are right.
I meant from main page/search page/any page where you first see just three most recent comments and need to go to entry's page to see all comments.
Maybe revert comments' order from recent to old also on entries' pages? I just think "voting for comments" is too much
Just read through the topic and 1. was my first reflex solution to deal with the issue, so the change gets my support, too. It should still be possible to revert back, IMHO.
OTOH, ranked comments with highlighting and/or threading (a lá Slashdot/Reddit) could be useful enhancements for future consideration instead of pinning.
Is there a way to get an in-site notification when someone comments on an entry you added or commented on? I am talking mainly about the CLI database since I just found a month-old comment by webfork on grep.
