I know there are ways to cheat using the voting system, and
reddit has a
way to deal with that, too.

There is a price, but it should be seen in conjunction with the
corresponding benefits. I think we should definitely experiment

I think there should be a few designed moderators for the
community, and a way to quickly report abuses.
Let me remind we have in this very newsgroup a drunk dude who
regularly keeps throwing random insults around under different
nicknames (right now, Han). Not to mention the occasional spam.
Maybe if someone started taking care of these guys already...
