And I’ve even considered how Proof of Work report events could help. Game theory says they can’t because the market dynamics don’t match incentives.
For example, when a bad event costs 1 unit, the report has to cost at least 1 unit too. But many reports are made, like votes, to try surface moderation sooner - or even just lack of information it has been reported (bifurcated network visibility).
That means for each 1 bad event, you have 1+N cost to report it. Spam wins, as the cost is equal at best, but more likely expensive to report then create.
And even if you think that can work, who is coving the cost of the reporters? I was processing 15 million spam events per day until recently. Near zero cost to create, and non-zero greater cost to counteract = clear loser.
