No I wasn't familiar with brushing, I'll have to look into it. When you say powers that be, that's basically the community, I mentioned mods but I don't think it should be "policed" or moderated by some upper level overlords or even me if I were to build it, the power of the system lies in community connections and if the community is intent on seeing themselves better as a whole then I would hope they themselves would make good decisions here. Your suggestion points in the direction of my thinking.

I think if we want to (re)build trust (society is losing/lost it at large, skepticism and cynicism is growing), we need to focus on transparency and reproducibility

I agree. Now there's just searching for ideas on how to do that
