Both of which bear a remarkable resemblance to past and present Wikipedia problems.

First, the sordid story of the Digg Patriot gang. A group of manic teabag conservatives who attempted to game Digg into right-winginess.

And just today, Andy Breitbart had to fire one of his right-wing bloggers--one Dr. Kevin Pezzi.
Not only is Pezzi a crackpot, he's an invertebrate self-promoter and a sockpuppeteer on social websites.

Allowing your users to generate all the content without moderation? It has problems.
The same problems, regardless of what the content actually is........
