I'm requesting that the requirement to give reputation to x number of other people before giving it to a certain person again be made circumventable by a time limit. I don't give out tons and tons of reputation, so I often end uo in the situation where the last time I repped User A was a year ago, yet I can't rep A again because I haven't repped, say, 10 other people. This would be avoided by implementing an expiration time, maybe two weeks to a month? Short enough to avoid the situation earlier described, yet long enough to prevent the abuse that the existing system was designed to discourage.
I'm not asking for the time limit as a replacement for the existing system, just as a secondary system. For example, I rep User A and need to rep 5 other people before repping A again, and the time limit is 14 days. By the thirteenth day, I have repped 4 other people, and see another post of A's that I'd like to rep. The next day, the counter would be reset for me repping A and I'd be able to rep him again, even though I didn't rep 5 different people.
I understand that such a thing may be nigh impossible for AS to implement, since it might not be in the forum code at all.
