I like the idea of a split view, so you can continue browsing frontpage/possibly a subreddit while still looking at a comment section.

If there was a way to incorporate mod controls and refresh just for the right pane, this would be a GODSEND for monitoring active threads.

I would consider going that direction. I haven't moderated subs; can you point me towards a resource that lists the most crucial mod features to have?
