obviously there will be a handful of people pulling that shit but every system basically assumes that 10% of the people using the system will use it unethically to their advantage. just balance around that, as the vast majority aren't exploitive scumbags.

You’re asking a lot of an already uncaring system. 10% can do plenty of damage.
