That is an interesting idea. Maybe autofill a users whitelist with the people that they follow, and allow them to add names from there. Then, if a person submits a comment that isn't white-listed it would have to get approved by the submitter. The benefit is that the user has full control over the comments being posted, and thus the quality of those comments. Hopefully. The downside, as with muting is the potential for abuse of this feature and the rejection of valid posts due to ideological differences or just not liking a user.I'm curious if the inverse of muting, whitelisting users, might be an interesting solution. That might be too drastic, but it's worth some thought.
