Maybe I misunderstood the system (and with no way of checkin it out myself, having below 1000 karma myself), but I thought users with 1000+ karma would see all comments appear directly on each post and could then decide whether they are "worthy" or not to be shown to everyone.

Thinking about this again I realize that would kind of defeat the whole idea as established users would still see all the "bad" comments, maybe someone can elaborate on how exactly it's supposed to work.

To cover for comments on older stories, there would also be an area where the 1k could voluntarily review comments, presumably without context.
Ah you are right. I re-read pg's original post and was confused the first time.
