Start new users with a negative score, to send without a peer review you need a positive score, users witha positive score can send requests without requiring a peer review and users who's score is above a certain (quite low) value can mod requests (sent or requiring peer review) up or down. Adapt the system for watching authorities so that requests requiring peer review are at the top of the digest and encourage users to review them and mod them appropriately. Users who ask well formed, useful and relevant requests will acheive a positive score quite quickly but if they start asking frivilous questions risk being modded down and going negative. Maybe limit the maximum impact one request can have on a person's score. e.g. if we start new users at -10 limit the maximum impact the score for a single request to +/- 5 so that they have to have at least 2 requests peer reviewed and modded up by 5 or more people each before they can send an unreviewed request and three (or more depending on where the bar is set) modded up before they can start modding themselves.
