Uh oh. I have good intension all the time. What did I do?
FWIW, I've wanted one of those buttons too.
Ideas to mull.
  1. Stop the daily payouts that are immediately liquid. Instead, pay them out, as a balance that becomes liquid for the user after say 12 months. Make it long. Kind of like options that vest. This balance is effectively both "staked" and "locked up". The user has to behave for 12 months to get them. Until then, they can be slashed. Make this amount visible.
  2. What if you could stake people you trusted to uphold the EN ethos? This money could go into the same pot as #1. And that stake could earn a yield (paid from the job board funds)?
1B + 2B - With either 1 or 2 created, you could then make a slash button, on that person. To use the slash button, you have to burn your own funds by the amount you want to slash. Make this part zero-sum, such that both the slashed and slasher's funds get paid out to all the other staked capital -- adding to the yield. This is important to avoid abuse.
  1. Put any "This person is untrusted or behaving counter SN Ethos" buttons, on the person's page, at the bottom of their other posts. You at least have to scroll past their other posts, to find out if they are not good actors -- or if they are just having a bad day. Explicitly make the button called "I don't trust this person to uphold the values of the SN ethos". TODO: Write down the SN ethos.
3B You could flip it around, and say "I trust this person to uphold the SN ethos.", put both buttons in the same, inconvenient, spot. Maybe this links to #2.
Make any of these buttons inconvenient to use. Put the button behind a ~30 second page load. Call it a cooling off period or something. Discourages the "I disagree with this person, so I'm going to attack them"-vibes.
