I don't think caste system is the right word at all. Caste is determined by birth. Its a straight hierarchy and no mobility. This would not look like that at all. However, by requiring new members to have established at least a baseline reputation in another respected community some communities will be able to protect themselves from spammers and newbies. This is already occurring. Systems like the one I propose will help it.

I'm just providing an example. MemeStreams has a reputation system, and so it is more likely to be in the "lower" or "open" "caste" whereas lower tech sites would go into the "higher" or "closed" "castes" because they can't handle the filtering on their own and need to piggyback.
