Indeed. We'll need to do something clever to prevent that. Hopefully we grow fast enough that it is a problem soon.

I'm very interested in giving more than the "top tips" page. I'd like to build a recommendation engine that give you want you want to see, based upon your past tipping behavior. That could entirely eliminate the other problems with other social news sites. We'll see.

A combination of recommendation engine, sock-puppet squelching, manual site curation, crowd sourcing, and tweaks to our hotness algorithm should be a solution.
