This will end up in a situation where some people vouch for illegal stuff because they like it, or "for the lulz".

For example there were multiple "name a product" contests raided by trolls- because nobody moderated the inputs.

HN has its own problems: the "flag" feature is abused by brigaders to censor content.

You can ban the lulzers who vouch for stuff you don't want.

The proposed community still has non-anonymous members who could accrue good standing, it just also allows anonymous posting.
