Ever since https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advogato there have been a lot of proposed trust metrics. Many of them function like Pagerank: you start off with a set of ‘seed’ users and then propagate influence based on how well users match them.
I agree, it is not obvious. Unlike morality though, this seems like the right application area for pagerank ideas. Example: if you want to know about someone in academia, you ask the top 20 people in a field to get a sensible idea.
So it seems worthwhile to think about/experiment with. I think one would need to iterate, I don’t think one can get a sensible system from the armchair.
Have you guys given any thought to doing pagerankish stuff with karma?
Can you elaborate more? I’m guessing you mean people with more karma --> their votes count more, but it isn’t obvious how you do that in this context.
