With some tweaks this could functionally replace top down moderation with bottom up moderation, while improving the results for most people. A Bubble Construction Kit.

I think that this would replace top down moderation with: Judge each post based on person who wrote the post and how I felt about their first post I saw

I think that the goal of moderation should be to judge each post based on it's own individual content; I think this is the best way to propagate good ideas

There's already downvotes and flagging.

Downvotes are neutral at best, they aren't a replacement for moderation.
