/prob/ ʭ A Modest Proposal ʭ

Lets face it, GJS/JSB-1 was a failure. It attempted to enact a system of vetting respectable /prog/ posters, but all it accomplished was enabling trolls to hijack the protocol and create 'authenticated' shitposts[1]. The fatal flaw in the GJS Protocol, is the fact that the users of the protocol remain anonymous. What the GJS creator failed to realize is that there is a good side and a bad side to each and every poster here on /prog/. Our greatest programmers are also our greatest trolls. What I propose is a simple. First, we must all begin to use tripcodes. Then we must filter out all anonymous posts. If you see a post you don't like, filter out his tripcode. If a poster has a reputation to uphold, he won't sully his name with shitposts. If he wishes to shitpost anonymously, he will be filtered out.

I want you're honest opinion /prog/, what do you think of this proposal?

Our greatest programmers are also our greatest trolls.
You don't need to be a great programmer to implement JSB-1, and it's just one autistic retard that spams signed shitposts.
Also, /prog/ is rather lazy in that (AFAIK) no one bothered to design another relatively hard to implement signing algorithm.

The internals of the system can never be made public (thus no transparency) to prevent exploits.
Wait, what? If the system is good enough (i.e., unlike Shii^tchan) then it would be exploit-proof.
