Can an online community run by a democratic voting system?

1 pointsby motiwabout 10 years ago
Current “voting on content” system struggle to weed out biased and poor content. It relies on a small group of moderators to curate content, and is vulnerable to artificial influence on ranking of content.<p>I started a project, named Postwaves to offer an alternative system in which user-submitted posts are filtered by random anonymous polls, in an attempt to eliminate excessive content and biases and allow everyone to calmly enjoy the best of the Internet.<p>Looking for your advice, can you run a community by random anonymous polls, or is mandatory to have moderators and strict rules ?
