Maybe there should be some sort of filter for certain high volume posts types - for example: Github repos. A Github Repo (or OSS) project must have a certain number of stars / forks / watchers whatever before it will appear on Show HN.

If you can't get atleast 20 stars then its probably not ready for the wider world to see it.

I'm sure there's problems with that approach but the current situation doesn't seem to be working.

Disclaimer: I tried to do a Show HN today and it didn't make it (and to be fair I wouldn't have made it past the filter I proposed above so I guess its working).
