IMO, the "next best thing" will be whatever can come along and solve our social and community problems technologically, while being easier to edit. Treat assholes like bugs in the software - code around them, figure out how you can make the experience downright painful for them while making it easier for the sort of people that you really want to attract. Build the software to guide people in the direction of correct behavior, and to inherently track sourcing, etc.
