Nobody gains reputation.   It is intended that identities are valuable, 
and people don't want them blacklisted. Byzantine failure loses reputation.

To get into the system, you have to be accepted by three others, which 
is intended to cost time, thought, effort and money, so that once you 
are in, you don't want to get negative reputation.

Observe how Ebay works.  One negative review is really bad.  No number 
of positive reviews is particularly valuable.
