Another technique could be to split the ranking into two modes, a general mode and a power mode(where rules are much strict and biased towards a filtered set of core community users). Using the power mode, readers would view the community core (who defines the site ethos) but may not be able to interact (vote,comment and submission not appearing here without upvote from core members).
Such an approach should be taken with a goal to gradually adhere the general user behavior towards the community core. May be add a tab for this.
The thinking is based on the premise that the site still has a lot of its core users and community values have not changed over time.
