suggestion to reduce existing reputation for upcoming season

[Aignam]

Jay H 237: Dividing a person with low reputation's reputation points would give them a smaller number or a positive fraction, but never a negative number. Even users with negative reputation would have this divided and thus become closer to 0.

In general, I think that this isn't necessary---users like JVN and Dave Lavery and such are comparable, on a smaller scale, of course, to presidents of the United States. While they will someday not be active in FIRST and on ChiefDelphi, what they've contributed will always be remembered, and thus should always be recognized. Lincoln doesn't do a whole lot for the USA right now, but that doesn't mean we're about to take him off of our currency and forget that he abolished slavery. Furthermore, users of that magnitude know how to properly and intelligently distribute their reputation points. Perhaps a cap on the amount of reputation-altering power a user can have would be in order? Certainly the reputation should still be shown---the user earned it!
