There is the matter of (ideally) a gradually increasing user base, and the likelihood that someone (many someones) is likely to feel excluded when they don't get worked in...

One time while I was on a job interview at a middle school for guidance counselor position, I was given kind of a brief tour of the place and took a notice to something: There was a soccer tournament against a neighboring middle school, and the school I was positioning for lost the game. What happens next? Absolutely
every kid on the losing team got a medal.
That...kind of made me feel queasy on the inside. I'm a firm believer in that rewards of any kind have to be earned. If everyone gets a medal, then what's the point of keeping score? What's the point of even playing the game competitively?
If someone feels excluded, then they can either present their case (without making a ruckus), or simply try harder next time.
I dunno! Lol. This is an idea in its infancy - I've hardly thought up of any logistics of it all. But avvy sites have both purties avatar and user of the week/month contests. This idea can give more substance to those "positions of power",
and make the story more presentable,
and make the site offer something far more unique.
