I am new here but from what I understand the top stories are top because they were up voted by the members. This means the "problem" is not with the act of posting itself but with the act of up voting, which is reflective of the people active. That's democracy at work. The only way to fix it is the wrong way - discriminate and override, whatever those mean in this context.
