Hi,
Razor uses a trust metric to assign reputations to reporters. New reporters
start at 0 and have to build up trust by exhibiting agreement with existing
trusted reporters. This protects against various forms of "ballot stuffing"
attacks that spammers can (and do) mount.
ceers,

Wouldn't that mean that Razor was vulnerable against spammers simply
revoking their messages again and again until they were classified as ham?
I somewhat assumed that each report counts only once per account, and that
newly created accounts start with zero credibility, so the above scenario
or close derivatives would be impossible. This is just speculation
though... Maybe it's best if the gory details remain undisclosed, so as
not to encourage spammers working around them.
