Solving trolling with social governance
Paul Graham has an interesting piece on what trolling is and how to prevent it from dominating the comments culture of your site. This is exactly the kind of situation that an advanced social governance system could solve. Check out Paul’s insightful warning:
There’s a sort of Gresham’s Law of trolls: trolls are willing to use a forum with a lot of thoughtful people in it, but thoughtful people aren’t willing to use a forum with a lot of trolls in it. Which means that once trolling takes hold, it tends to become the dominant culture.
