you guys, relax. pg has been thinking long and hard about the newbie influx problem for many months now. he saw what happened to reddit, and he's applying his usual sensible approach to preventing that from happening here. if anybody can do this, pg can.
why do you figure pg is amazingly good at this? he already banned me and rms from voting. that doesn't seem to suggest great leadership skills.
How would you go about scaling an Arc app?

All users are held to the same standards, whether they're on the leaderboard or not. Eventually the other users will get tired of you filling up the comment threads with your private beefs, and you'll stop.
