The Reputation System tracks user behavior, automatically banning individuals like Devious Dan after several fraudulent actions such as sending empty envelopes.

I'm sure that Bullshitter Bob will be glad to know that the system believes his fake reports, and he'll enjoy the stolen DVDs too.
what if they change wallets or keys?
I envision a system where the token covers the cost of your initial contribution, equivalent to the price of two DVDs, approximately $40. This not only funds the DVDs but also grants you access to our network. With the upfront cost accounted for, we can then set a more affordable monthly charge, leveraging the reduced overhead costs. Importantly, the reputation is tied to the token itself, not the wallet. So even if a user changes wallets, any fraudulent activity or complaints associated with the token will persist. After a set number of infractions or complaints, the token will be revoked. To regain access to the network, the user would need to purchase a new token.
