> We could add a magic keyword that changes authorship of a post “for cred purposes”, e.g. the text `really-by: @decentralion` would change de-facto authorship to me.

We could also use our magical admin privileges to change the owner/author of a comment/thread too. This gets a little tricky, however, because we want the ["Cred Historians" and Curators](https://discourse.sourcecred.io/t/cred-historians-and-curators/194) to get the Cred for finding the data, organizing it, and creating a thread for it in the first place… but we also want to ensure that the original author of the content being organized is credited appropriately. Maybe we would need to create an Initiative for the presentation first, then credit that appropriately, then link that into the Artifact?

As part of a broader discussion on how to do Supernodes, Initiatives, and Artifacts correctly?
