so if we already have the rate, why would we want a reputation system based on users? In this case, I like more a reputations based on posts. As MenthiX said, it'd be good if we could change our given reputation or rating... For example, I remember rating a member with 1 because he was a spammer. Now he doesn't spam so if I could rate him now I'd give him a 4 or 5... Users change and so users' opinionabout other users change too. That's why ratings/reputations per user should be able to be changed too.

Well, but as long as only sensible menbers are allowed to vote (like it's now) noone will abuse too much of oher person.
That can be avoided if the number of reputations a user can give to another is limited per thread, ie: user A can't give more than X reputations to user B in each thread.
Also, the ability to modify/remove reputations given to a user's post should be included (or maybe not? that's to be discussed too). Note that a user may edit the post after other user has given a reputation.
