That's *highly* subjective. Some would say MAPS is too aggressive to be worth any points at all. Others would say they trust it explicitly and would immediately give it 10.0. In my opinion, starting 0.5 would be appropriate. I suggest this as safe starting point to see how much nonspam they end up hitting. After a while if you're comfortable start nudging it up. I myself would be rather reluctant to go over half your required_score value unless I was quite impressed with the results.
