Registered users are active credentials used to report/revoke. This is what we use to track reputation and trust.

No, that is the same meaning.

There are a multitude of issues to consider around poor detection rates, and to cover them all in detail really would require an extensive, whitepaper-like effort. I'll try to summarize a few important ones here:
1. SpamNet is a social democracy, and works best for the average (majority) user.
2. SpamNet and all clients that interact with it support multiple signature schemes. This should be readily apparent to anyone that looks at a razor2-agents log or packet sniffs the traffic.

There are several other important points to consider, but I think this is a decent start. Perhaps Vipul and/or others would like to share their thoughts on this thread.
Sounds like SpamNet is significantly more advanced than the GPLed razor modules. At least in the hashes. But I can't imagine that my spam is significantly different from everyone elses. After all, it's all about Pharmacies, Porn, Morgages, and Body Enhancements. Sometimes all at once! ;)
This post, and one I posted earlier (albeit unanswered) begs the question of if I am able to successfully complete all my razor-report submittals.
Is it reasonable to conclude that the razor2-agent system will probably not prove itself as effective as the SpamNet environment?
