Certain stuff I can limit are

Number of reps given per day (Might make people spend it carefully)
Number of reps given before given to the same person again

The idea of the rep system initially was to encourage people to post valuable stuff, and collect brownie points which isn't really worth a lot but its at least tangible and I know it spurred on a lot of people to spend more time to make good posts. I think the problem here is with the neg rep.

how about limiting the number of neg reps given to a post/ or up reps.. sure there are some posts that everyone loves to content of and should be celebrated - like when dox announces another huge event supporting the community - that guy deserves it..

but if circle jerks and rep trains are an issue.. limit the number of +/- reps available - after all, I think people get the idea that their post was stupid with 2 or so neg reps.. then a bunch of neutral reps saying - 'bad post big boy'..
