Firstly, that's not what I intended to design:
In the end, what I would want is to be able to moderate quickly a
specific message. Why ? Let's take Aku for example : This guy makes
often stupid trolls about Linux / Windows ... but sometimes he (or
she?) says some interesting stuff (sometimes ... :). That's why I
don't mark him as bad. But honestly, if I could get rid of his trolls,
I would do it.
Moreover, with a web of trust, there are two possibilities : You can
accept to read messages from new-comers, then what forbid someone to
create a new identity each time he/she send a message to be sure that
most of the users will get his/her message ? Or you can refuse to read
their messages, then it finally will make difficult for new-comers to
be marked as GOOD by someone.

Secondly, some people on Frost already asked to bback if he could do a
web of trust like that (but I don't know if he plans to do it).

Another idea suggested on the Frost board is a retro-moderation
(something like: people creates a message black list, and other people
can decide to trust this black list). But it won't give any protection
against message flooding (as the web of trust in fact).
