Some of the author's issues seem to be a result of not scaling the voting thresholds based on the sites size. For example, 5 votes needs to close a question: When the site had 100 users, 5 votes is 5% of the site - a meaningful proportion. When the site has 1,000,000 users, 5 votes is 0.0005% - which may have no information content at all, it could just be random noise and the votes to close wouldn't be meaningful representation of the communities viewpoint.
