Have the second chance pool[0] sort by number of comments, ascending, to keep posts with the fewest comments on top. Automatically remove items from the pool with greater than some arbitrary number of comments, since they've already gotten traction.

Don't display comments on the newcomments page beyond a certain comment depth (which inevitably stray from the context of the original article) or which have been downvoted. In other words, curate it a bit so it doesn't provide as much low-hanging fruit for snipers.

I really wish the API would get an update. It would be nice to be able to do queries by range or to get entire threads at a time.
