Description

Societies are lists of Moera users in the form of black- or whitelists that are publicly accessible. Moera nodes may subscribe to the societies they choose and use them for any purpose: spam filtering, access controls, subscription recommendations etc.

Possible methods of building societies:

  1. Blacklist build by existence of critical number of complains from Moera nodes (see more details in Overview in "Spam" chapter).
  2. Whitelist build by existence of critical number of recommendations from society members.
  3. Whitelist build by presence in friend lists of critical number of society members (as variant, those who are society members for a long time).

Research direction

No implementation repository, files, entry points, or tests are named, so first identify the affected Moera components and define the protocol and completion criteria before implementation.
