(Add a Reputation prefix please, can't categorize this suggestion properly.)
What I'd like is to add an additional check (or a feature) to the rep system, which would be a timer. The timer value of say 1 week would serve the purpose of allowing those people who use the rep system relatively rarely to bypass the rep spread requirement IF their last rep hit was made outside of the wait time value set for the timer.
To illustrate:
CURRENTLY: User X tries to rep user Y. They get the error telling them they have to spread more rep around because 1 month back, they gave rep to the same user (and no other users since).
WITH THE TIMER IMPLEMENTED: User X tries to rep user Y. They are allowed to do so, because it's been more than 1 week since they've last repped that user.
Pretty simple concept, but would end the endless string of complaints from people who rarely use reputation and are likely to rep the same people even when they do.
