That's why I think theymos should implement something like reporting badges with some small perks so there's at least some incentive.
theymos can deploy the badge anytime he wants. Problem is theymos does not want to do that. I recall that theymos wrote he does not want to deploy to many badges and make user profiles like rainbows.
Sorry for the wait, when I went to implement this it ended up being quite a bit more of a can of worms than I originally thought because of opting out, preventing certain report-count-padding strategies, etc. It's still on my to-do list, but there are several things above it.
Meanwhile, we have
