Prevent identities with a score below 92% to participate in the report session

Regardless of their status, identities with a score below 92% shouldn't be able to participate in the report session.

This wouldn't apply to candidates as they haven't established a score yet. Identities with a score below 92% often are secondary or tertiary identities validated by a single person.

Flip farms also often struggle to maintain a high rate of identities with a score above 92% due to their incentive to manage multiple identities. This is particularly true for flip farms that don't replenish their stake and for which getting a low score doesn't matter so much. The strategy for those flip farms is to get as many identities as possible in order to maximize their APY and validation rewards. This is at the cost of running identities with lower score. However, this lower score isn't as impacting as it could be because those flip farms don't stake high amounts of iDNAs on their identities. Losing identities is part of their strategy as lost identities are constantly renewed with a pool of fresh identities.

This proposal would aim to:

• Reduce the collusion during the report session. For instance, flip farms tends to collude in reporting valid flips that they don't like because more unique hence harder to solve.
• Reduce the validation rewards for flip farms. Less participation to the report session means less report rewards for flip farms or other participants maintaining identities with a low score. For instance the number one flip farm currently has about 50% of their identities with a score below 92%. This proposal would reduce their report rewards by 50%. For this flip farm, this proposal would reduce the total validation rewards by about 20%.

Potential risks:

• This proposal would have the effect to reduce the number of participants to committees (for report and approve credits only. It wouldn't impact the number of members participating in flip consensus). The lower participation rate as well as potential unintended consequences would need to be further quantified/qualified.

I would even add to this mechanism "suspended" and "zombie" identities regardless of their score.

-> Identities with a score below 92% as well as "suspended" and "zombie" identities aren't allowed to participate in the upcoming reports session.
OR
-> Only validated identities with a score above or equal to 92% and candidates are allowed to participate in the upcoming reports session.
