You could easily pull the amount of karma as well. Depending on how the query is run in PHP it could be similar to something like this: $strqry= "SELECT * FROM cp_comments WHERE cp_comments_post_ID = '{$somepostid}' ORDER BY cp_comment_karma DESC LIMIT 10"; $qry = mysql_query($strqry) or die("MySQL Error: {$strqry}". mysql_error()); echo "Top 10 Karma Whores"; while($karma = mysql_fetch_array($qry)) { echo "{$karma['whatever_field_is_commentors_name']} ({$karma['cp_comment_karma']} "; } Anywho gives ya a rough idea...

echo “Top 10 Karma Whores”;

}

Anywho gives ya a rough idea…

But people might just be testing this and decided to test the red thumb ;) Or it might just be because the John Chow readers are too competitive :) Interesting plug-in… but I’m not sure if this gives accurate stats of the value of comments - at least I’m seeing more negative rankings than positive on this post.
