LOL. I don't believe in punishment or restrictions based on past performance. I 
believe that people do the best they can as much as the time they can. OSMF 
have lowered the bar of entry to people with little money which is good. More 
engaged members in OSMF is a good sign. Of course this new policy could also 
backfire and lead to 42 days of crap edits for all our millions of users in the 
worst case, but I hope not.

I hope this reliability index will be used for good. I have no intention of 
using it to pick on others. But maybe someone we ill be curious about to he 
results. We could create a page that suggests what a particular user can do to 
get a higher score. E.g. take extra care to avoid integrity errors on your 
multipolygon edits. Read this page x, contact your local mapping community to 
find a mentor ask in a forum for help with reviewing an edit.

We already have a light version here: https://hdyc.neis-one.org/ where you can 
profile any user after login. 

I never used user statistics in conversations with others because they are 
judgements best used to evaluate a whole. 

I dislike judgements about humans. Ranking and competitions are not my 
favorites either, but I love learning with others. So when I write other 
contributors I only refer to facts about a concrete edit and ask what they 
tried to do. I have never seen anyone anywhere in OSM use data to try to 
control others which is a good sign.

Cheers
