How about showing a short list of the key guidelines (http://ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html) below the comment box whenever someone wants to make a comment?

A quick visual reminder that is "below the fold" - ie below the reply button, so easily ignorable for frequent users, but very visible for new commenters that may not have read the guidelines...

Could have a list of the key guidelines, or show one of the key points at random, or even set it based on what you think is one of the main issues affecting the type of comment on the site.
