About
Peer-to-Peer Accountability Enforcement is a methodology for sharply reducing the problem of posting content in bad faith (including both outright verbal abuse as well as abuses that are harder to spot, such as sea-lioning) by allowing users to collectively delegate other trusted users to rate comments and commenters as to their credibility and appropriateness. It generally increases per-user accountability for abuse, but with the source of that accountability being other users rather than a central authority (with all the bottlenecking and power-concentration that implies).

Notes
Things that credibility management should be able to defeat or at least control:
- sea-lioning (see Issuepedia): appears civil and polite on the surface, so may be difficult to judge without understanding the full context
- brigading -- though it may take a combination of credibility management and debate mapping:
- evaporative cooling:
- click-farming ...except I'm not understanding the value of having fake followers:

Credibility management is beginning to look potentially useful for rating subjective quality of aesthetic works. Some discussion of that application is here:

Content is verified by user generated “channels”, which can be “liked” by others. When more people like a channel, the associated torrents get a boost in the search results."

- no proxying/layering -- all ratings are direct
- no personalized credibility ratings (PCRs)
- minimal granularity, i.e. only two possible values (-1/+1) for each ranking
