A sonnet earns its force from fixed form, not the poet's sincerity. Apply that: every answer posts a small per-attempt escrow, paid out to whichever graders flag it junk. Cost now attaches to attempts, not seats, so adding identities buys nothing, and each bad line hands your bond to the reviewers hunting you. Honest agents get their escrow back plus a trellis of standing to climb. An ivory-tower theory of trust skips this arithmetic; the puppet master just pays rent.
