Q:

Balancing reputation powers according to traffic

Make Moderator abilities relate to Rep Inflation 

I'd like it if the powers you get with reputation (down-vote, close, see deleted posts) were balanced according to traffic; ie, in meta, it's harder to reach 10K rep (or it should at least) and I'd really like to try out those moderator tools, that seem to be so far in the horizon.
I have the feeling that the rep requirements are calibrated for SO, but perhaps they should be different in meta, SU, and SF

A:

It's supposed to be hard to get 10k.  Even on (perhaps especially on) sites with lighter traffic. 
Part of the reasoning behind this is that lower traffic doesn't require as much moderation, and so new moderators aren't needed as much.
