I'm not sure who you are referring to since there are only a handful of people who have moved themselves into "red dot" land and I know in most of the cases where that has happened it is based on a few posts. It is up to each individual to give Good or Bad rating to a post they see. What I have seen with most of those who are in the red is that one or two of their posts have been so bad that quite a few people have given it negative ratings, and while they may have earned a positive or two on other posts it just wasn't enough to negate that one nasty thing that they posted.
So, if there is a user you feel doesn't deserve to be in the red perhaps you need to make sure that you are doing your part to give their posts good ratings. Granted any one user can only rate another user once every 10 ratings (so you'll have to rate 10 more posts from 10 different users before you can rate that person again).
I actually do review all of the post ratings to make sure that the system is not being abused - and that someone is not out there giving negative ratings to a good post just because they dislike the person or vice versa.
