Well, in lieu of a forum implementation automating that, you can already scrutinize a submitter's submission history via their profile.

In this particular case, it's their first and only submission, so what you're proposing would do absolutely nothing.

well, no. a reputation system could prevent poor predictors from hijacking threads, attenuate their moderation power, overall decrease the influence they have. and obviously that would take time to have an effect. im not sure how you could not understand that.

i dont understand why you bring up reading peoples comment history. thats totally unrelated

Comment history != submission history.

Maybe I just plain don't understand what you're on about at all.
