Won't you have the adverse affect?

People will spam continuously anyways, for whatever motivation they have (trolling, ai poisoning, hate, etc) and it will become harder to filter through the noise.

If you have emails attached, I can confirm that Linus in fact posted something and its probably worth reading. You can gain reputation and I can filter my attention based upon those who have reputation.

It's not clear to me that the spammer discussed in this thread is motivated by recognition and job offerings. I don't think this solves it.
