Danoir_, no senior staff nor FrostVincent have commented in this thread. So this thread is a discussion that might not go anywhere.
A reset of the main world would wipe out all the builds and work. It would take too much time for staff to copy each build to another world. That is why this thread is exploring the idea of a second world rather than reset the first main world.
If we had a second world for a year or more, then staff could slowly move active towns and cool builds to the second world. Then we could contemplate resetting the main world. But staff have lives and want to play MC so not many towns and builds could be moved, even in a year.
I am not a builder of pretty things :-). The only big thing I have is my railroad. I would welcome a second world where I would rebuild but try to build prettier. I would be happy if I still have access to all my builds on the main world and continue to extend my rail there -- I did build it for new players to travel on. Even a world reset would not bother me too much.
But a second world that you rank up to get into does address the one big issue that the original poster brought up -- many, many new players come on, work for a few days on a build but then never come back. Now their builds cannot be touched and 'claim' 100 blocks out.
Letting players teardown other players abandoned builds makes it hard to patrol for grief while only letting staff do the teardown/rollback adds more work on staff.
A world reset is drastic.
A second rank-up-to-enter world means only active players with lots of time invested in HT get on it where they are likely to finish nice builds and extend the builds. Most hit-n-run griefers will never make it to the second world.
