I’ve thought that crowdsourcing the filter is about the only way it could work. Another idea is to use some twitter analytics tool like ThinkUp.
This concept has been around a while in the gaming world

I swore Valve was doing something similar to this in Counter Strike too, letting peers review shared video of purported cheaters to judge, but I can’t find anything about it.
I think it is a good idea to try, but Twitter is one of the worst product companies in the valley, they barely iterate on their product for years and years. I would not be holding my breath waiting for this feature to appear in Twitter anytime remotely soon.
A couple of thoughts:
-
Traditionally, juries evaluate conduct against some defined standard of elements that constitutes an offence. Will this system use such standards? If so, who defines them, and how are they reviewed?
-
I’m not so sure this won’t be subject group problems. Not gamesmanship exactly, but more like a self selection bias involving the volunteers. There may be a danger that the most “pro-restrictive” users will be the most incentivized to be jurors, and thus will make decisions that would not reflect the judgement of the community as a whole.
Alternately the other problem, that it would reflect society, which considers horrible behavior, misogyny, racism, acceptable practices.

I haven’t looked at Slashdot for over a decade, but someone with a low userid had to say it, you insensitive clod!
I said this combination a number of times, but it does not make sense. Can you please explain?
Imagine a beowulf cluster of volunteer twitter juries.
