This dilution/abuse problem in voting sites (HN too)... I'd rather see each user getting a view of votes - a customized view where there is more weight given to votes coming from a user's direct and secondary networks.
In general there seems to be a lack of customization for what a user thinks is signal (by way of their own votes and who they choose to pay attention to) and not what the whole community thinks is signal. That doesn't seem to ever work quite right when the population gets too big.
