[hzjexooq] Reputation mechanisms violate privacy

Any mechanism by which one can establish a reputation, especially of an online identity, will also decrease privacy: decrease the ability to stay anonymous and provide more rope for attack by enemies.  Is this unavoidable?

It is difficult for a person to know whether they are making a correct choice regarding an action which will establish reputation but also decrease privacy: it is difficult to estimate or bound the repercussions of the decrease in privacy.
