The person getting picked on might also get a lot of sympathy "good" points which would off set the "bad" ones.
It would take a while to weed out the bad eggs.
Here's a thought. Perhaps you do not get the power of giving points until you have earned a significant number of "good" points. One could assume that those who have earned enough good points would be responsible enough with power.
A new user would then have a time to learn how the board works before taking part as a full user.

I'm with Hal. This really kinda defeats the purpose of setting up an anarchy board. Now I know you said you'd rather have it set up as a different type, but that's similar to what we have here now. The only difference is we have a political (mods/admins) party that holds the power. In your model, Cliques would abound and certain cliques would destroy other ones and try to gain the power. While that would in fact be an interesting study, I think the Anarchist model would be a more interesting model to begin with; especially considering the scope of relations on TFP. I'd like to see if people carry the same attitudes and traits as they do on here.. or if they go ape-shit and try to destroy everything in sight. I'd also like to see who isn't "scared" on the Anarchist Project. Some who may be a bit leery as to what they say here (for whatever reason) may in fact pack quite a punch.
