How would that improve the situation?
- buboard 7y ago- discourage brigading - discourage mob behavior - prevent particularly biased individuals from skewing every discussion - adds stochastic variety to the biases of the group

It would achieve the 4th in individual threads, but amplifying randomly-selected niche viewpoints in different threads adds up to the same biases across threads (unless the selection of blessed users is thread-independent, in which case the community has a randomly-selected group of first-class citizens).
