I think you'll find that many reputation systems work on a per-/64 basis.
This is because:

1. In residential networks, a user has more than a /64.
2. Due to the way SLAAC works, having multiple clients share the same /64
without being able to assume each other's IPv6 addresses is non-trivial. So
one client on a /64 is often able to assume any address on that /64.

In a server environment where you control the OS and networking of course
you can give individual users one /128 each, but why would you want to do
this? Why not give each user a /64 so they can use all the addresses they
want?
