A big problem is apathy. If top posts are influenced by power users, then an 'average joe' user will feel pretty powerless, right? So if you don't believe that your post can get much exposure, why bother posting? I think that sort of feeling can really damage a sense of community. When I go on a website like this, the main thing I want to do is discuss cool shit I see on the Internet with other interested people. So if you have a feeling that your voice is probably going to be drowned out by a thousand other people / power-users then you're not going to care much about the conversation.
