Theoretically, the size of the community is not exactly the issue. Certainly, as it grows, so do the challenges. But ultimately it's the core culture and the self-governance within. The tools and structure of the site help to build the culture, as do early members, but as the population grows, the culture can shift. Sometimes tools can be updated to better handle this. Perhaps users who have more flags than karma/upvotes actually disappear (along with their comments) for a time period and/or lose their ability to post for a while?
