Yes and no. There's someone who's regularly on the Good Egg list who once wrote me half-finished fic with a ship I specifically said I disliked, so some people can slip through the cracks.

It's like the XKCD strip about how you can send one in every 30 eBay buyers a live bobcat instead of what they ordered, and still maintain a 97% satisfaction rating. If the rare bobcat recipients don't want to start wank, you can keep a Good Egg rep for a surprisingly long time.
