  • Rep Power?

    I searched around and found this explanation for both rep points and rep power, but still not sure I understand the purpose of rep power.

    Is it a multiplier of the rep points one has or does it affect the amount of rep points one gives when "repping" another member?

    If the latter is true, how does it show for the recipient? If someone with a rep power of 1 gives me a rep point do I get less rep than if a person with a rep power of 10 reps me?

    And how does one go about boosting their rep power? Is it based on how often you give rep points? How often you receive them? How often you post? How often you have been a member? A supporting member?

    Am I over thinking this whole thing? So confusing.

    People give you "rep power" ... you can't give it to yourself. One would hope that they are given for the right reasons ... being helpful, giving a good answer, etc.

    If you look under your User CP, you'll see the reasons people gave you "rep".

    I don't understand the "points" myself ... and simply don't worry about them.

      I thought people gave others rep points represented by the green dots under one's join date. The number beside the rep power isn't always the same as the number of dots which is why I thought it represented something different.

      Speaking of dots, why are some dark green and others light green?

        Don't know about the colors ...

        As far as I know, when you give someone "rep" ... you just fill in the why ... and something happens behind the scenes.

          The colors, the points, the rep power....all one of those "Great Mysteries of the World".
