If a user gets 3 strikes their not banned, but their account becomes an anonymous joke character "rimmer" and they lose all their respect points.
So basically you want a feature where if someone acts like a colossal idiot/troll/flamer/snollygoster they become effectively invisible to being identified?

I can't see how that could possibly be abused

Actually it works quite well as their ability to access and post in various parts of the site are connected to how much respect points they have which is a function of how much the crowd rates the quality of the content they put in. The end user has full control over their own threads and posts, and voting can only be done in a constructive manner. (I.e statistics are derived from thumb up's only.. there is no need for thumbs down to exist.)

A brave little theory, but I'd like to raise a few issues:
their ability to access and post in various parts of the site are connected to how much respect points they have
Interesting, but if that logic were applied here, then you wouldn't even be able to log in, let alone post (just found that rather amusing).
The end user has full control over their own threads and posts
Which means that ultimately they can't realistically be held accountable for their actions on the site.
voting can only be done in a constructive manner. (I.e statistics are derived from thumb up's only.. there is no need for thumbs down to exist.)
A world where you can only heap praise on something, or be apathetic to it's existence, with no ability to say "no I think you're wrong, and in fact I disagree with you", sounds like hell IMHO.
