There's of course a side effect of data being untrusted. While an individual couldn't game this if the system would depend on multiple sources, an organized group (like 4chan) could likely make the system show whatever they want.

I was referring to MasterScrat's idea of a browser extension. In that case, it's only a matter of saturating the service with crafted data, something that 4chan excels at doing.
