"In addition, I am also proposing to remove the requirement to Participate in a Paragon quest. It is not needed and I have no idea why it is even there in the first place and just does not seem to fit."
I guess we encourage promoting players who don't care about their characters enough to paragon them, since there is nothing more significant to a character than having a little something just for them that sets them apart from everyone else in therafim. The requirement fits so much better than running quests does, and is quite similar to writing player fiction.
Also, why have any kind of set amount of rep required for site work? Isn't each individual instance of rep reward its own thing and substitutable? Fiction doesn't always get you 5 or more rep either, are you going to start counting the rep for that too?
Although none of these changes are really that big of a deal, I don't think they were necessary at all and things were already adequately explained with a little inferance but clarification is always nice.
