Not to start a flamewar, but did you really look? We've got markdown support (which means images, links, long posts, emphasis, lists). We also hand out currency based on received votes (as well as puzzle solves).
The "anything can hit the front page" is an interesting idea though. I thought about that, but I wondered how well it would work for discussions, which often don't make sense out-of-context. I poked around, but I didn't see any comments hit the mushpot FP. How well does that work in practice?
Instead, we moved a few "best" comments for each story into the RSS feed. Hopefully that will give good comments high visibility while also providing some context for what's going on.
