I think some kind of jury is going to be necessary in the long run. The power to flag, for example, is too powerful. There will be many situations of injustice if it is just left to people to decide. My opinion rotates about the fact that new stuff created and maintained by a small group of people barely need rules, but when it grows and more people enters, rules are necessary and the power to apply them as well. I can think of hundreds of examples: a bar that has been great for a small amount of people, with jump sessions and good musicians becomes popular and suddenly security is necessary to stop fights, in the movie Cocoon, the aliens let a few people go and chill out in the swimming pool, but the place becomes popular, or even the place some children used to play chess and relax, suddenly overflowed by other children that make fire in a rubbish bin and they are all expelled.
Its human nature. and hence human rules are needed. Lets not last a lot to think about it.
The magic of this place may be linked to the fact that helping is more rewarding in the long run that criticizing. But if the ambience changes, other platforms may appear and then we are changing new users for experienced users and that cant be good.
