Imagine a guy who is juggling while on ice skates, during an earthquake. Do you really want to mess with his balance to make him change his hat?

Depends what building was about to fall on him and whether a better hat would help
Seriously don't just concentrate on the nodes but the network as a whole (i.e. the environment the node is within)
Building a reward coin on top of the network is interesting but does not improve the network behaviour.
The behaviour of a node is not the behaviour of the network of nodes.
Penalization is a network behaviour not part of forging, but one node assuming based on a single action another node is bad.
Just a primitive response to one node observing another.
The two topics are separate in my view;
When does a node forge and how often does it succeed and what affects this?
What actions does a node take towards another node based on its observation of that node? - to my knowledge so far all I have seen is blacklisting and the forging penalty (are these the same thing?)
I would try to solve the two problems separately - Like the stuff posted on network behaviour yesterday.
Maybe there is a penalty or blacklist for a node but IS that purely based on forging activity? and this entire piece should be checked or it could in the future be a ddos exploitation vector as it breaks the network because nodes stop listening to nodes.
