ON the first place who can give the reputation and who cant ? I can find a user spamming with a legendary rank under his name and on the other hand a classic poster who is still a Member,What relation does an account rank has with post quality ?
Disregarding the possibility of abuse from sock puppet/alternate accounts the new system will again result in variety of group's supporting each other and fighting over it, just like ...........

Now,do you seriously think thermos has no other work ? IMO he simply ignores the thread if it's subject is related to spam.Be honest and say would it take more than 3 years of prolonging ? There are much bigger/important things to care of for those who have the cards.

Why ? because the owner doesn't has 12+ hours a day to waste them on creating a spreadsheet full of useless data and spying on users for 3 cents ?
They don't hire a guy for that because many people don't like dealing such silly drama and the mentality to establish dominion over other users,thus a bot helps & I don't think there should be any problem with that unless thermos is getting annoyed and wants them to come up with some alternatives.
