Absolutely, if the reputations are system derived, system computed, and
system defined. If they're not, then it would seem to potentially
provide a rich feeding ground for knowledge miners.

Oh yeah.

Yup, good point. Or, as Larry McVoy puts it, "bullshit filters".

I'm not so sure about this. If you make it excessively easy to enter
data into the system, but the reported value of a datum in the system is
a product of its intersections with other data and its support by those
who receive the hint then there's the potential for it to become a
typical icerberg structure self-reinforcing authority structures (items
accepted as "truth" becomes increasingly hard to belie, no matter their
fallacy).
