Care to elaborate and share some interesting links? I'm honestly interested and I agree the article is shallow.

#5The suggestion sounds almost exactly like slashdot's system. Personally I'm partial to web of trust.

Drexler (yes, that one) and Miller's Agoric Papers (1988)

Fun fact: These papers played a role in the inspiration for me to work on my own similar project when I was still in my early 20s (over a decade ago). It is not an entirely original idea. I had a face to face chat about it with Scribd's CEO at one of their happy hours back in the day.
I'd guess that Quora had some component of this in their early vision before dropping it.
Some more recent work has done by Anton Kolonin. There are probably others, but I'm too jaded to care enough to keep up anymore.

We're already living in a post-truth world with broken incentives. Something like this will, at worst, add a transparency layer to it.

#8If I read this right :
step 1 : create an actor ; let's say ACTOR1
step 2 : create multiple actors (bots etc) let's say ACTOR[A-Z] to raise the reputation of ACTOR1
step 3 : use all the Rating Token Balance (R) of ACTOR[A-Z] to give reputation (S) to ACTOR1
step4 : ACTOR1 now have a good reputation on the blockchain
step5 : ???
step6 : back to nickserv on irc with known nicknames to find someone with good reputation
EDIT : I missed the "Note they can only acquire reputation by being good Actors in the eyes of already-good Actors" but I am curious to see how this could not be rigged by a algorithm

#9The problem is not the lack of a well-defined ruleset, but that any open or clearly intended ruleset can be optimized for. One of possible solutions is to obfuscate and enforce rules in some irregular, inconsistent and unfair manner, with a well-intended dictatorship or aristocracy oversight, which is proven unworkable long term.

#10I like reputation systems in general because they mimic the way social norms were created in the real world (provided having a bad reputation had consequences, but yet was redeemable)
However I'm not sure about:
> Bad Actors cannot take over the system until they have played by the rules long enough to have accumulated sufficiently high reputation scores.
Would it be possible to automate having a "good behavior" with some very low-stake actions (basically, sharing funny cat pictures ?) with one actor, in order to get tokens to allow upping the reputation of another actors (controlled by the same human being in the end) that is then able to send spam in proportion ?
> The Reputation Score S of any Actor automatically decreases over time
I get that this is a feature, to prevent the emergence of "gurus", bitwouldn't it incentivize authors to produce poor quality content regularly over producing high quality content ? You don't want to be Don Knuth in such a system...
