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
your attempt at convincing people why to use a button will fail. they will do what they want. technical solutions for human behaviors can be difficult because humans do not generally like to be told what to do
