Nobody uses them like this, I've never seen them called into account like what you're fearing.
Because unlike points these medals dont even mean much. You get them no matter how deeply you play the game as long as you post enough. Points on the other hand are created by playing the game itself thus a low amount could be seen as not doing many parts of the game but it also should never be used to put down a argument.

About punishment and mods: There are enough people on this forum that have posted personal insults and are still posting. So I am not really sure if they would truly punish such posters. But if they do, then I would have less problems with them showing the points.
