About

Friend-based policing, short for friend-based online community policing, is a methodology for sharply reducing the problem of bad-faith commenting (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 that implies).
