Great Post! Best post i have read so far today. I usually go through all categories.
The Trendingpage to get an overview whats high $. after that i check hot and active as there i find most interesting posts.

I hope that the system how posts are displayed will improve, its too fast atm, and imagine 100.000 users instead of 25.000... 

another thing i have to admin, sometimes i vote posts only reading the headlines, if i know the poster from a previews post. 
i think the best thing to do would be, to only allow voting on the post page itself, not on the overview page.
