I'm not suggesting It won't work (I do like the Idea), but more the fact that precautionary measures must be In place.
We could always keep it to trusted members who have been around a while within the community. Reputation where the user has serious investments already made is a good inventive to not go cock all. That and middlemen wouldn't be terrible.
I think this would have been easier to set up in the sites early days, before we witnesses various dramas and grew to this huge memberbase. However, I like the idea. I hope that closer to the time, we can regroup on the idea and see the interest remains. I'm sure there's a way this could be worked out logistically. (Probably similarly to how people remove personal details from human subjects studies but can still assign results to the participants - any psychologists here?) But yes, trust is an issue that will have to be assessed closer to the time.
