I'm definitely for some kind of restriction here, or perhaps another step. Is it that one vote by one monk is sufficient to frontpage a node? (damn, I'm verbing). If so, maybe they could be worked into the "consideration" system (i.e. add 'front page' as another option), thus making them take more votes to get them on the front page?
