IMO, you might want to consider skipping this "MOST" idea altogether for several reasons....

Conserve your energy for the rest of life's hurdles. Don't stop thinking about it, keep outlining and refining it, but only build it when you actually need it. (And make it so that you can add more than just 3 options (ideally everything could be modular and expandable)).

What would you do when the SJWs and/or bots decide to swarm the place and artificially tip the "MOST" ratios? All tech solutions will be subverted by more tech solutions in this war. This is just one never ending battlefront.

IMO, you should cultivate a trusted team to co-moderate/co-admin any forum - and draft up a manifest/constitution that lays out your fundamental concepts. Always refer to it when discussing new things or forum justice. Preferably something better than the pyramid of debate which IMO is a terrific guide (we need MANY more guides like it), but it's a terrible arbitrary rule. Make as few rules as possible, but all very clear.

IMO, there are much better things to work on. You could draft up a list of things to improve SaidIt code (like this developed and abandoned a couple years ago), then ask the community for their top issues, then pick the top 3 to focus and work on. We (d3rr and I) dropped the ball on this one and haven't picked it back up, but I still believe this system could work very well - and not just for coding or SaidIt. (See also: /s/Organizing)

That's just off the top of my head.

Maybe.

I share a lot of good and bad ideas. I try not to share too many ugly ideas, but I do get them, so maybe I've been saying no to timesuck ideas all along but you didn't know it.

True.

I got rid of many subs, great, good, and meh, and kept many undeveloped ugly ducklings that could become something beautiful - if I don't kill them by neglect.
