Interesting idea, and it would make it more fair.
If the stated aim of STM is to “punish those abusing the systemâ€, then it would certainly seem to be fairer to use a more controlled method of capping rather than the blanket system we have now where everyone is capped irrespective of their actual affect on other users.
