Remember Fisher said a lot of rubbish.
To the point, it is suggested a reputation system be implemented, based on how sportsmanlike players are - presumably there would be a filter to enable people to utilise that system by only choosing to play opponents of a certain minimal reputation.
That may be inapplicable to tournaments, but admission rules of the tournaments themself could take care of that.
There may be other uses to the system; e.g. OP suggests incentivising sportsmanship through ranking etc. (trophies come to mind) - great idea which would constitute both a use of the system and an element supporting it.
@15 et. al. with all due respect to libertarianism and all, the behaviour described here can and need be prevented.
If by "rules" you refer to Lichess's, then consider that rules can be changed.
If you refer to FIDE's, consider that there is no personal shame (of others!) associated with habitually behaving in such ways online, as there is in OtB. The system suggested would create something to simulate that self-restraining shame, and have other uses as mentioned above.
And as to the problematic voting method, #6 suggests a way around it.
