Keep in mind there's a fine line between keeping out spammers and keeping out newcomers. Don't want to turn hubski into digg with only the power users able to gain and hold traction on the site. I do like mk's idea of giving priority to users with fewer ignores though.
Yes, I am leery of building a site that revolves around a small group of influential users. In fact, you might have noticed that I removed 'popular hubs' from the discover page yesterday. I replaced it with 'recently badged'. I am still doing work there, but I don't want to artificially cluster newcomers around certain users just because they were here first.
I'd rather visibility to the community as a whole to be a transient thing, dependent upon the quality of your most recent posts and comments, and not upon a legacy. Of course, a user will keep most of the followers they have earned, but if they want to get more of them, they have to keep providing good reason for it.

I like mk's idea too, they're still there they are just not being featured as prominently because the community has basically all but told mk that this person is posting for nefarious reasons.
