summarizing what is known about revert transactions and revert currency from digging through wikien-l and meta-wikipedia

New page

A '''revert currency''' attempts to quantify the reputation or contribution of [[Consumerium:contributor]]s and "identify trouble-makers" who revert material that is valid, or write material that is invalid. It may limit [[ad hominem revert]], as the reversion of valid text would show up as negative transaction as soon as it was restored. It may however reinforce a [[cabal]], [[clique]] or [[sysop power structure]] ruled by same or by [[GodKing]], who will ensure that the text does not return, valid or not. This is analogous to central bank currency controls in a global economy, which can disempower local cliques but strongly empower a global one (see writings of George Soros on this question).

It seems however to be much preferable to hierarchy and authority schemes with no accountability, and no disincentive for [[sysop vandalism]] whatsoever.
