There was a lot of serious discussion on this general topic back in the early 90s, before the 'net became commercial and mass market. The high level bits are:
1) 'nyms' are important, they are psydonyms, or real names, or nicknames or whatever
2) a reputation has to be kept for the nym
3) tools should allow people to set noise thresh holds, where you don't listen to postings by folks with 'low' reputations.
4) all nyms and reputations are local to a community.
Of course, 'local' and "community' can vary, it might be folks posting to java-forums.org, or folks posting to all java related forums, or all programming forums, or the whole net.
