Just chilling and sharing a stream of thought..
So how would a credibility system work and be implemented. What I envision is something similar to the up votes..
You have a credibility score, it starts a 0 neutral.
You post something
People don’t vote on if they like, the votes are for “good faith”
Good faith is
You posted according to rules and started a discussion
You argued in good faith and can separate with opposing opinions
You clarified a topic for someone
If someone has a polar opinion to yours and is being down voted because people don’t understand the system
Etc.
It is tied to the user not the post
Good, bad, indifferent…?
Perfect the system
Hell yes they need to lie! They probably say they voted for who ever the loudest person in the group did so they don’t get threatened. Us older generations shouldn’t be bullying the younger ones, we had our chance and here we are.
