Nobody gains reputation. It is intended that identities are valuable,
and people don't want them blacklisted. Byzantine failure loses reputation.
To get into the system, you have to be accepted by three others, which
is intended to cost time, thought, effort and money, so that once you
are in, you don't want to get negative reputation.
Observe how Ebay works. One negative review is really bad. No number
of positive reviews is particularly valuable.
