Absent actual moderation your scheme depends on each poster deciding
whether his or her contribution constitutes "useful knowledge" or
"subjective opinion."  I confidently predict that, if implemented, the
noise reduction which results will be swamped by the noise increase
occasioned by arguments over whether a particular posting was
misclassified or not.

And that's a knowledge-based projection.
