the idea I was playing with recently was having two reputation scores. Long term and Recent.
Our current rep system would be the Long Term one except that the dial would only be moved up or down based on the Recent rep score. Recent rep would use all of the factors that you just mentioned to create a far more fluctuating score, that goes down significantly if you aren't using the platform, or if your extraction is high compared to your input, or if you're getting pasted with downvotes or something (obviously it would calculate everything to make the score fairly dynamic). If its low, it will start to eat away at your Long Term reputation, but if its kept high it will build you a ladder to the stars!
There could maybe be some things (like not posting for a while) that wouldn't necessarily push your Recent rep in to the negative, but would trend towards neutral so that your Long Term rep stays pretty much where it is... not sure. What do you think? Any mileage in this idea or is it replete with devastating butterfly effects that would bring Hive to its knees if implemented?

BASIL... I love your insane brain!
Love these ideas. I'm going to chew on this bubble gum for a bit. This is good stuff.
You have no clue how happy it makes me to see you writing a comment on my blog.
Btw, I'm on discord again, say hi sometime.

@azircon - what do you think of Basil's idea?
KE metric doesn't have post frequency in it, and I am not interested in it. From experience I can tell with just a simple glance at an account if that account is abusive or not. I personally don't need a metric to determine that. KE is designed to help others. It is doing a great job on that. People picked it up over time, and I didn't push it.
I'm confident you can. I guess my idea here is one of social eng. - new people coming in, an easily discern what behavior is better. Make it a game, if you will, to have a good score in this mini game.
I agree with KE being a great metric- lot better than the current rep number for sure. Maybe that should be the first change, get rid of the number next to our handles and write in the KE. But I think we can do more.
maybe its the kind of idea that would be better tested on a breakaway community first to look for issues with it. Azir might be right that its not really necessary, but im sure he must agree that the current rep system is pretty pants. Replacing it with KE would be kind of funny.... there'd be some BIG shift ups in terms of who we see as our most prominent community leaders Im sure!
Exciting to see you buzzing about the hive Meno :) catch you on discord sometime Im sure
