It's a tricky problem. We understand that naturally, people are going to want to convince their friends to come vote but we don't want the contest to turn from "who has the best screenshot" into "who can convince more of their friends to come vote for them", which is why we have the post count requirement in place. This is also why, as mentioned above, we hold the judge votes from being publicized until the end.

The minimum requirement actually did go up last Cycle as needed. If it seems we need to increase it again this Cycle, the same will happen.
