Safety Ranking for drviers and dispatchers

[Rafał]

It would be nice to have some sort of safety ranking for drivers and dispatchers so we can avoid stupid train delays due to unnecessary stops. For drivers below certain ranking dispatcher function would be restricted. Player could earn SR (safety ranking) for proper handling of train (similar to exp point), while dispatcher could earn SR point for reducing delays of passing trains / not causing greater delays.
SR would be decreased for obvious reasons like collisions, passing stop lights and causing delays playing as dispatcher. It should be strict enough that causing one stupid collision was a punishment in itself, after which the player needs at least a few hours of clean driving to reverse the effects of the punishment.
Some servers could even restrict players below certain SR to join as drivers.

I dont know about the delay part. 
if a train comes to your station already delayed you probably need to hold the train for passing scheduled trains which means further delay. And that would cause negative points for the dispatcher.  

And in my Opinion a restriction to join for some servers ist also not a good idea since mostly only one server of the country is filled. This could detract players and SimRail player base needs to grow.
I think the reporting the system is more suitable for reckless drivers and dispatchers which get banned .

I'm not sticking to any of the ideas, but it seems obvious to me that we need a system that would prevent intentional blocking of traffic. Of course servers are somehow moderated but they will never be moderated 24/7 thats why there should be some prevention system.
