Okay, here might lie a hard part - if there's 100 established users, it
seems impractical to solve all 100 puzzles (although I admit it could
become necessary in order to find someone's to pay attention).  How to
choose which puzzles to solve?  Should a new user really be presented
with a list of 100 check-boxes to pick between?  What information should
they have to make an informed decision?  I guess puzzle difficulty
differentiates established users.  What else?  Could Frost to choose a
bunch of people at random, or even publish more and more solutions as
time goes on until someone evaluates the poster?

How to expire an old puzzle and how to publish all this info on puzzles
/ web of trust?  An internal board receiving daily/weekly postings from
each user on their current WoT and puzzle?
