Well, while not a perfect suggestion, I think it would reduce the number of people whose task, it seems, is to make sure they support any image posted by their friends, as it takes a random number to include them in the voting list. And, please remember, I'm not finding fault with the images I see in the ot 20's...they are almost always good. The only problem I see is that there are others out there with equally good images that may be getting "honest" votes but never enough to reach the goal making the Hot 20 due to lack of friends voting.
