Yeah, technical wise I realise that it's not something that can easily be implemented into Steemit and might not ever be. What gave me the inspiration was how StackOverflow handles crowd moderation, I have moderation powers over on StackOverflow and the way they do it is similar: a question is flagged, it goes into a queue and then other users also review the flagged question. If enough people agree, it's removed or closed.

But you are right, based on what I have seen, the power users and bot abusers will always find a way to circumvent any low-quality check or guidelines designed to prevent people spamming to the top.
