This is an interesting issue. I think an interesting metric would be a 
combination of number of votes which add to a ranking score, and age of the post 
which subtracts from it.

Or maybe simply have a couple of buttons which change the sort order:

1. by vote
2. newest first
3. by karma of the poster
4. by number of posts by the poster
5. by a "house blend" of the above (!) If Sönke wants to get really creative, 
have an "equalizer" with four sliders to control the weight of 1..4.
