Have a feature that allows people to charge fees to people who submit work. This would potentially compensate the arbitrator who would have to review the work, and would discourage people from submitting bad work in the hopes that they can fool people into awarding them the bounty.
Instead of awarding the bounty to whoever gives a summary/investigation, award the bounty to the person who provides the best summary/investigation, at the end of some time period. That way, if someone thinks that the current submissions are omitting important information, or are badly written, then they can take the prize for themselves by submitting a better one.
Similar to your first suggestion: have a feature that restricts people from submitting answers unless they pass certain basic criteria. E.g. “You aren’t eligible unless you are verified to have at least 50 karma on the Effective Altruist Forum or Lesswrong.” This would ensure that only people from within the community can contribute to certain questions.
Use adversarial meta-bounties: at the end of a contest, offer a bounty to anyone who can convince the judge/arbitrator to change their mind on the decision they have made.
Good ideas. I have a few more,
