on the other side of the coin, we have members who have contributed a fairly tiny portion to the site, but have extraordinary high marks..
the ONLY reason i have not brought this up before, is because i was afraid the system would be scrapped if it was noticed that they have such high scores when valued members are so low. before anyone scoff's, it is a real concern because the snarkmark system has never been fully accepted, and it would be a shame to lose something that can work if the kinks are worked out.
since we the members do not know the exact ratio's the marks are divided by, its really hard to suggest a solution.. would it be possible to post the current ratio so we can work from there? 
[edit] this is not intended to sound like an elitist comment, you are more than welcome to apply any term you feel comfortable with to assign value to the people who contribute more to the snarkpit as a whole.. i only chose "valued" because i couldn't come up with any other term less specific.
