I'm sure it's been tried, but we know by now that anything that is codified gets gamed. You just have to act sensibly, and accept that if a big enough division of opinion on something occurs, the community will fork. That is a natural step of evolution and not something to get upset about.

I read the about and still don't understand what it is or how it tries to accomplish what it's doing. I run a couple communities, I'd be interested in making a structure, but I have no idea what this tool is
This is a bit of a tangent, but I think there should be options for the type of community you set up. One kind is the traditional, moderator-controlled community. Another kind could be a more democratic community where members have more power (and responsibilities).
I had some rough work but haven't gotten around to posting for feedback. I might be misunderstanding it, but my thing was a "best practices" thing for communities and instances.
Planning to finish it up soon
