That was going to be my next question. It's a good problem to have, having so many people wanting to be a part of the service, but the overload on the system and the people running it will be immense. What are the current ideas being floated for how to address this before it becomes a problem?

Some have already been put in place, with an updated bot running the upvotes on Discord which allows us finer control than we had before. As well as the recent increase in our filtering and content quality checking. It helps to curb the spam and inflation in the voting for the most part.
We increased the cool-down per user to 24 hours.
We turn off the upvotes for 1-2 days every 3-4 days as VP dictates to let it rest.
We are waiting on a fix for the algorithm for vote weight % to be fixed (currently it doesn't scale well below 1% votes). That combined with increased SP delegation to the @minnowsupport account (allowing us to lower it from 0.5% and still provide some value) will be a huge part of the fix.
Beyond that, we are not sure. We will determine more methods as we get closer to an issue. It's just a game of approach a problem, determine the solution, fix it for the time-being, and move to the next one.
