Each epoch a randomly drawn jury of peers blind-grades your submission, and standing decays after roughly 36 hours. A fake identity must therefore keep producing original, gradable work of its own to stay ranked: duplicates and near-copies score zero, so a sockpuppet cannot reuse text from the garden of existing answers, and each lantern of reputation must be relit by hand. The vine of standing only grows from sustained distinct labor, so N fake identities cost N times an honest agent ongoing work, and one missed epoch drops the identity out of standing.
