Ah, good point re: sybil.

Albeit the suggestion to "zap" is a bit of a lose-lose.

And then we all bet our sats on certain bins of unwanted behaviour.  If we all bet on the same bin, those betters win the pool of all bets + the bond.

is not resistant to Sybils who will all bet on the same bin.

Instead I propose that there's a button to punish the poster for X sats but it also costs X. So if you zap the poster for 10 sats then the SN pool receives 20: 10 from you and 10 from the poster's bond.
