That's something that they already do anyway.
Post a repost somewhere else on the site and they've got enough of everything to spam their T-Shirts everywhere. There's not really anything most people can think of to stop that. Transparency of the rules might make it easier for spammers to know the exact values of when they can post somewhere, but it has immense value for the users of the platform to know what's going on more clearly and effectively.
The good 100% outweighs the bad because the bad is doing the exact same thing with or without the transparency. The normal users of this platform tend to just abandon it after they still can't post on a 4 week old account with 20 karma.

Point is: If spammers are *that* willing to make 30 accounts, submit reposts until they get a few thousand karma on every account, and then still get a fat instant ban, being transparent about the rules won't stop them or even enable them more.
There's nothing here!
