I don't think complete anonymity is the way to go. It'll attract clinical psycho people with actual difficulty understanding identities and ethics. I've seen it. They'd have difficulty understanding who posted which, have too little incentives to listen to anything, and openly complain that they would have to follow rules if enforced. All in straight faces.

For a social media to work, some sort of consequences must be forced upon responsible users. Else people quits functioning. I'm guessing that the reward scoring don't have to be exposed to the public, but there has to be something, and forcing users have pseudonymous usernames is a workable implementation.
