You can't easily and accurately rate such an evolution.

With the User-Rating you have to literally CHANGE the rating each time the behaviour changes (Think of 50 1337 members becoming respectable members, will you re-rate everyone?)

Another thing I want to say, a disadvantage of current user-rating system:
The more voters for a certain user the harder a rate is really relevant.

(Just the same as the more posts rated, the less important are votes)
