Hey, so I've wondered for some time now how social media sites might benefit from a sentiment analysis score applied to their users, who are then given more or less moderation ability based on the result of that score.

Obviously tons of edge cases, but what do y'all think of this? Combined with Slashdot's "king for a day" moderation style, could this solve some of the lingering issues present in social media?

I'd love to sit down and talk to someone about this concept for awhile, see where the idea goes. I'm super sure it's come up before, I just wonder what the state of the art is.
