There's a Stack Exchange website that provides a lot of value to me, but they are at a situation which, in my opinion, the 5:10 reputation ratio is not fair because providing an answer is much more difficult than asking a good question.

Moreover, specific tags are even less populated by answerers and perhaps getting more reputation would motivate them.
Maybe it would be a good idea to let the website administrators tune the number of reputation that people get rewarded for a question upvote in proportion to bonus for getting an answer upvoted?

I would disagree with your statement(s):

  1. Reward points are not transferable between sites and therefore mean inherently different things on different sites.

  2. Stack Exchange already provides a "bonus incentive" system for enticement of answerers - a bounty. Offering up some of your own points should be plenty motivation, regardless of the site you're on.
