From all this however, it is not clear how a currency would encourage good edits, or if [[sysop vandalism]] would reduce. For instance, [[usurper]] sysops can continue to do [[ad hominem revert]] and cause the currency of their enemies to go down, using their [[sysop power structure]] to reinforce itself but making it look as if they are censoring low-credibility people. More research is needed.
