You need to give reputation to 10 different people before you can have a repeat. This limitation has been in effect for over a decade to reduce the impact of "rep wars", where friends spam each other to inflate their dots.

I know that, I'm making suggestions to modify that:
1. Don't count different types of reputation as "repeats"
2. Add a time component, if it's been more than a year it's probably not spam

And it's definitely more than 10, the guy I just tried and failed to give rep to has 14 between him and now.
