At least you can't rep the same post over and over anymore.  Might need some tweaking here and there.....but overall, I think it's just fine.

And I spread rep like crazy. I like a lot of posts. 

So I'm really piling some serious rep on people. I'd lower the value for mods and admins down to more normal levels.

It's set up in a way that rewards activity, as far as how much you can give...and quality posts, as far as receiving it.

'Quality post' doesn't necessarily always mean a well thought argument or something like that. It could just be a funny gif, a sarcastic one-liner or just agreeing with someone's overall position. 

Basically, the rep feature is just for fun - a way to say 'I agree, like or respect your post' - and shouldn't be taken too seriously. It's not like you can cash your rep points in for a free toaster.
