That score could be gamed quite easily though. Just make an army of bots to follow each other, to build up a good score.

But the score could be different from the perspective of every user. As if everyone has no score. But only users, that have a relation to me or to other users I follow. And as further away a user is from my social graph, ghe smaller its score.

But could be very difficult to find new legit user when I set the score too high.

That “but” is the main pitfall with #WoT, I think. If you’re filtering out #spammers by filtering out people with low WoT scores, then you’re also filtering out new people that you just haven’t connected with yet.

Yes this point is correct. I thnk it would be worth it, that clients try to implement thos metrics in a opt in way. This way it is possible to try them without harm. When it does not work, it will go to have no big effect then.
