The problem that I have with the Rep system is the vastly different amounts of power certain people have. Rep Altering Power is based on how long you have been here, your post count, and your Rep.
I don't have the exact numbers, and I don't feel like figuring it all out, but I can give something like 22 points of Rep for every click I make. 22 Points! Meanwhile, pshabi is able to give something like 10, but there are lots of quality posters who are only able to give 1 point at a time.
Every little bit counts, of course, but it just seems crazy to me that I should have so much more power than anyone else because I have such a high post count. I've looked at tweaking the formulas, but nothing I can think of would reall fix the problem.
So because of this, I give less Rep out now that I did when we first got started. In a way, this is lame, because I think everyone should be giving out Rep all the time, but I don't want MY views to override those of 22 newer users, ya know?
Unfortunately though, I really don't see a way around this.
