Two things:
1) Can we please correct the problem of position players going down with the position they played at time of retirement? Seems easy enough to have them assigned the position they played the most games of their career at. Or better still, the position he's played the most games at in his prime (first 12 seasons in the league perhaps). By the time a player retires he has lost major points in every single defensive category and is obviously only equipped to play a much easier position.
2) Fix the voting system so that a league's HoF is not hurt by lack of participation. Include a checkbox that says "vote for no one" so that you can differentiate between owners who intentionally didn't cast a vote and those that simply don't care, forgot, etc. Then have an inductee judged based on the percentage of participating voters rather than all 32 teams.
