I'm unconvinced, to my possibly-undercaffeinated mind, the string of 3 posts reads like this:
- a problem already solved in TFA (you vouching for someone eventually denounced doesn't prevent you from being denounced, you can totally do it)
- a per-repo, or worse, global, blockchain to solve incrementing and decrementing integers (vouch vs. denounce)
- a lack of understanding that automated global scoring systems are an abuse vector and something people will avoid. (c.f. Black Mirror and social credit scores in China)
Those are good arguments against. I want to make it clear that I think it’s a possibly interesting idea, but also probably a bad one too! :)
