This is an interesting idea, thanks for the suggestion. It kind of formalizes the "knights of new" concept so that you explicitly try to run posts past a certain subset of users first.
It would probably be possible to not even really need a real "inner group", the visibility of the post could just be restricted at first.
Thanks, I appreciate you coming back with more thoughts on it. I agree that being able to see the "rejected" posts has benefits as well, definitely something to keep in mind if we do something...

I really like this idea, and I think it would be very effective in curating content and keeping the quality high in the groups. The way you track sufficient trust score would have to be nailed down appropriately, and you'd need to have a certain amount of users with this score for the system to be effective, but otherwise it sounds great!
Maybe one way to calculate sufficient trust score would be some kind of reputation system where users get a unique score for each group they participate in.
40% counted towards # of topics approved with X months
shows they are actively participating and posting articles that are appropriate for the group
30% counted towards # of comments with X votes within X months
shows they are actively engaging with people, and that other people like their comments
20% counted towards # of points that existing, trusted users have given them
trusted users could receive X points every X months for being a trusted user, and they can award these points to people for topics they especially like (maybe these points expire too)
10% counted towards # of total article votes within X months
this could be compared to the highest number of votes anyone ever got in the group, and would determine the popularity of the content they are submitting
This gives every user a reputation score out of 100 and at X score they automatically become a trusted user (maybe something like 70%), and because the metrics are based on X months the user's reputation will change over time. They can lose their trusted user position for no longer contributing quality content.
This is actually a system I came up with when creating my own Reddit alternative a few years back, lol. It just never gained enough users for me to see if the system worked well or not.
