the question is how to handle submissions and moderation

I was thinking 'it needs to work like /links pages where people suggest other people's stuff' and then it occurred to me that we could just let trusted people supply recommendations through their own websites via a hidden feed page they curate (think like RSS/sitemap.xml/twt.txt) and the engine would aggregate those and crawl the suggested sites

so people aren't just submitting their own site for moderation, but a smaller number of people (less pressure on maintainers) with extensive bookmark collections (like me) submit themselves as vetted contributors and can just find and publish recommendations for the engine and it just crawls those lists daily

after that, we have a reporting system during regular searching for dead or compromised URLs

and then the final problem is just how to deal with getting people to trust you again and allow *our actually polite and respectful scraper* to come visit their sitemaps and collect opengraph data
