That is certainly valid advice, but again it is reduced to the same problem, it is completely subjective, and if it serves the interest of "forum cops" by increasing their profile and influence then there is an explicit conflict of interest inherent.

Sometimes its not subjective. Sometimes scams are committed and all the evidence required to prove it is present on this very forum. I don't know how red tagging "increases" somebody's "profile", in a positive manner anyway.

Do you guys think if a batch of accounts fill all of these criteria are they worth giving a red trust?

This is probably something to be discussed with moderators. And theymos. I know he doesn't like using the trust system to enforce forum rules

Noted, I won't bother tagging them, but will perhaps post more about the problem in Meta later.

This is an instance where its incredibly obvious what is going on -- the chances that a series of accounts all created within hours of each other all have praise for the same projects is statistically round-downable to zero.
