I dunno if this is a good idea or too complicated. I think it might be neat if you could give partial rep(like in 0.1 increments). People would still have a daily limit of 1 rep point worth of change to give or take, but could divide it among different people or give/take a smaller amount of rep for smaller things. Because it is still out of a total 1 point per day, the value of rep wouldn't change.
For example, say person A(who has 3 rep) does something kinda nice and B(who has 3 rep) does something kinda mean. C could +.5 to A giving him 3.5 total and -.5 to B for a total of 2.5. Between the two, C has spent all his rep giving/taking ability for the day.
I figure it might also be cool if different ranks could give/take a higher total per day. Maybe at the minimum post requirement they can give/take 1 (or maybe .5 or something) per day. Each rank up they can give/take slightly more per day, like .1 added to their daily give/take capacity.
This whole system would require the +/- buttons being replaced with something like a drop down menu or box to type it in.
So, what do you guys think? Does this sound good to everyone?
Jacob, what about you? What do you think about the suggestion? If you do like the idea, does it sound doable or would such a change be a pain in the ass to make?
