What about making reputation history an
option? If it's largely a matter of not wanting to hurt anyone's feelings then let someone active the feature at his or her own discretion. Of course there's still the technical issues you mentioned but that's paperwork we let the site staff or whatever handle anyway.
The benefits or detriments any feature of any site possesses is always dependent on the person who (ab)uses it anyway.
