A (hidden) spam score is bad (IMO). Nobody sees it, almost nobody can test it.

A documented "user level" with documented rules would make much more sense and

OSM is not a blog site. OSM is about making the data better. Once you have
somehow figured out a little bit how OSM works, you could blog about it. IMO.
