Build a Website: Need Features from Digg and N4G

I need a site like [login to view URL] and Reddit created. I know that Reddit clones are common, but the key here is nuances that N4G has. You need to address these in your proposal... Also, I am not looking for a clone! I just want certain features from both sites. N4G allows people to submit content about video games. After submission the content goes to a private moderate queue. Once they have reached a certain site level, registered users can then vote on those submissions in the moderation queue. Once the submissions reach a threshold, they become public. N4G then has a behind the scenes ranking algo (clicks, views, comments, etc) that displays how "hot" a piece of content is. This is a key difference from sites like Digg which are voted based. I do not want a voting based system. See also the N4G beta site [login to view URL] My site is not related to video games. It is related to sport. I would suggest you thoroughly explore N4G, register and check out the various pages it has. I need to be very clear here though, I am not looking to replicate or clone N4G, just replicate it's basic functionality (like Digg but without votes, instead a behind the scenes "popularity" algo. My design, layout, etc will likely be very different. I do not currently have a design. If you can do this within your proposal or not, please indicate that. Any questions please ask.
