I think there may be a case for capping rep weight at a certain point . When I was fresh carrion and the rep system was in it's early days I remember being amazed to get 10 whole points from one of the great and the good. Now I pack twice that and I certainly do not regard my opinion or judgement now twice as good as theirs was then - in fact I feel I have sneaked in like Sam at the council of Elrond. . But as my original kind benefactor pointed out .. one gives the points one have to give. I don't begrudge them but it does seem disproportionate. If it were restarted there perhaps should be a certain point decided 10, 15 points whatever .. a point by which if you reached it you had shown "your quality" as Sam would say, and that would be enough and as good as it got rather than gathering rep weight ad infinitum ( to the point where we would explode on the consumption of a " 'waffer'-thin mint" ? ) which must be a bit dispiriting for newcomers. I mean it is one thing for the person at the top to have 10 times more but if it got to 40 or 50 times more...
