People show very different faces to different people.
I'd worry that tech bros would have impeccable scores from a large number of peers, and the much fewer targets for their harassment would have no chance of breaking through.
It would be even worse if that all-over score decided their status on your feed, not just your own score, but I don't think that's what you're suggesting.
Look at algorithms for star rating systems for ideas on handling split scores.

@jannem@fosstodon.org @rauschma@fosstodon.org @geertaarts@mastodon.green Yeah, totally can see that — but are you worried that “their peers” are in your friends circle? The great thing is, you only need one ‘Vouch’ score to reset it to 100 or -100. When you vouch, you personally override. Or of course, somebody you follow can vouch — you could trust someone who blocks all the tech bros — and you inherit that trust. Mostly!
