Isn't that kind of what Voat tried to do? And look how that turned out.

If we have a benevolent dictator in charge, I can only imagine what greatness is next.

And what if the dictator is no longer benevolent? We need things to be future-proof and not just hope for the best.

To address your first point: Voat used Comment Contribution Points or CCP. I don't see it working that way. Use your judgement, not an algorithm. If a new user wanted to join my community, I would look at their comment history to see if they are a good fit.
