Yeah it might be a good idea if a user has a trust flag and at least 10 more supporters than opposers on it...

But can't newbies pm newbies so they could just make a new account?

It will definitely create an influx of newbie accounts. I do not think that this is the cure-all solution, my solution would be IP banning if that is possible. Most games that I play do this when they detect cheaters in their game, it is pretty effective because the rate of cheater drastically gone down. Although in this case, it will be different, I do not know much about the administrative functions in this forum so I do not know if it is entirely possible at all.

there have been cases where users have been IP banned before. and there are also cases of people who were IP banned(due to evil score/points) even though it was their first time registering on the forum.

Q: Why is my IP banned? What are those units of evil?
A: Your IP might be banned because it was used by a user that got perma banned. Don't worry - IP bans decay over time if there's not too many of them during a small period. If you register using a banned IP, are using TOR, VPNs or well known proxies, you will have to pay a small fee. This is to prevent spammers while allowing legitimate members to post without many restrictions.
