Some thoughts....

I can see the PMs being abused for upping reputations. Plus, PMs add nothing to drive traffic to the site, which is what's rewarding in having posting members. It rewards the wrong group, for doing nothing but to chit chat with friends on your dime.

Thread creation rep points is a very good idea. That's an incentive for folks to post new threads. But yes, add that the point is lost if it's under 30 characters. Need to prevent exploiters from racking up points they didn't really deserve..

Would be nice if the point system was geared to word count (with Admin moderation, because of cut and paste jobs). Longer posts of, say 500 words, should gain more points, than a "me too" reply of 10.

That would really reward your forum seeders, and make them the justified stars of the forum.
