If too many submissions means too many scoops, it might be worthwhile to make only some number of a person’s ‘best’ submissions count, but making them pick which of their submissions is going to be ‘good’ in any week is turning chocolate into the new gambling scoop. People with good submissions certainly get more chocolate scoops, but an idea that gave 25 scoops last week might get you 1 scoops this week before getting -5’d. At least until the inherent randomness of voting is resolved, don’t do anything to chocolate scoops. It’s not like it’s causing a problem, despite everyone’s best efforts to break them. If it’s not broke, why try to fix it?

While I don’t necessarily believe that chocolate needs a nerf with regards to buildr, I think the easiest solution to this objection would be that your X highest performing submissions give you scoops, rather than your first X submissions. So, once X unique submissions pbum Y votes each, earning Y votes on other submissions won’t give a scoop, but earning Y+Z votes still will regardless of which submission gets there first.
