I do like the Web of Trust idea. Maybe I'll do it google style and
give out some invites to people [say 5] and then those 5 people
will get a couple invites, and so on. Each invite would point back
to the person who gave it so if I trust Bob and he trusts Sam who
trusts Sue but Sue turns out to be an abuser, I can see that Sam
give it to Sue and revoke Sue's account and make her
"untrustworthy" to the system [blacklisted]. If Sam invites
several people that all end up black listing, than Sam's ability to
get invites will get removed [but he would not get blacklisted
since he is not abusing, just passing out invites to abusers].
This would have to all be done by machine to scale ... not sure I
have the time to put the code together but if it worked it might be
useful for other free services out there.
What do you guys think?
I hadn't thought of the invite scenario, but that would probably much
simpler to implement that a full blown key-signing/certificate
paradigm. It makes more sense in this application, too, I think. Of
course, I don't really know anyone in the * community yet, so please
remember that it was me who first suggested a WoT model. ;-)
