On: Cmdrtaco may have a point

Here's something I thought of today whilst reading the gripes of reddit: their main issue can't be the community, but instead the amount of power they give individuals within the community.

Reddit could look to Wikipedia of all places and come up with some ways to give individuals within their community more clout over the stuff that hits the top few pages.

Doesn't Digg do this, or is it just the fact that high ranking Digg people have more followers who want to "help out"?

Giving people more power makes it break much quicker. You'll soon see upvotes being sold, etc, etc, etc.
