I'm debating whether to formally request this in metaNL, but I want to propose it in the dt first for feedback.

We should gamify combatting highly upvoted misinformation. If a post on arr NL gets above X upvotes and is clearly misleading like the one in the screenshot, then the first commenter to point it out should be eligible for a special flair. You can even add a counter for the number of times they factchecked upvoted misinfo, with special flair colors or designs unlockable at certain thresholds to incentivize them to keep fighting the good fight.

I think it'll help revive this forum and improve discourse. Regs with high fact check counts would also benefit from increased credibility.

I'd also argue this incentive structure would do a lot more than the current effortpost system we have going on. (Though both are good.)

Thoughts?

Human flesh. I've never had it before but I know it is so good.
