I've been thinking about trying a forum with no usernames or reputation system, just trees of comments with varying root topics. Not sure how to filter the garbage though. I'm thinking let it happen, and figure out various ways to hide it, without erasing it, later.

There used to be a Tor onion forum like that, "talk.masked". It was linked from Core.onion (eqt5g4fuenphqinx.onion). I believe that it was one of the first onion sites.

As I recall, nothing was ever deleted. It was classified, and you could filter as you liked. But I don't remember specifics.

The owner took it down some years ago. Because the trolling had become intolerable.

https://www.kialo.com/ comes close to that description. Identities and reputation arent immediately visible in the argument tree.
