The only direct change to the reputation system I would alter is adding more reputation blocks. I reached the maximum about agessssss ago but if you look at my rep/power in comparison to other users, there are many who completely dwarf me. It feels like the blocks aren't relevant to rep points and power in terms of the whole overall concept of reputation. Basically I don't see why the blocks shouldn't continue across the rest of the space on the post-bit (until they reach the join date/posts/rep power figures).
