Punishment through web of trust

This is collective punishment, but as a working solution it depends on web of trust, it won't scale as people will withdraw. Not only will they withdraw from the offending user but also other users they are suspicious about. You can form guilds to do something that otherwise needs higher karma, and you can dissolve a guild if they do something wrong, but you should not propagate a fine on karma (or any other kind of punishment) to wrong member of a guild. That would make users reject the idea of joining guilds. — Jeblad 21:58, 7 June 2016 (UTC)
