Anyone is free to point out obfuscation and deception at any time.
Everyone else is free to take that into consideration when rating
those concerned. Whether or not that affects the reputations depends
on how convincing the evidence is, and no doubt issues concerning
the credibility of the critic such as whether they use ad hominen
attacks in presenting the case against someone.
In other words, the system already implements your suggestion.
