Often I want to downrep somebody for being dumb, but them uprep them somewhere else to cancel out the downrep I just gave, because I'm not trying to be mean. But I can't! Please change things so that this can be done. One way is to limit the user to two reps per person per day. Another would be to allow somebody to rep another twice within 24 hours as long as the previous rep was in the opposite direction.

Jump to PostIMAO, giving bad rep then giving good rep to nullify it is asinine. If you think they deserve bad rep, give it. If you're concerned about their rep points going in the toilet, don't give it.
You have, my friend, hit this particular nail firmly on the head.
