the points and power are two seperate but related things. You need x amount of points before you get 1 power point.
The more power you have, the more points you give out when you click on a person's reputation. meaning I may have only 3power points and you have 35.
we click and give the same person some reputation. Since you have more power points, you give him more repution points. where mine doesn't give him but 1 or 2 .

ahhh, I was thinking it was along those lines.


nice to see you too fuzo, I have been around. Here is some rep for ya...

I am quite sure it has to do with how many posts you have. A combo of posts and rep other people give you accounts for reppower.

by my calculations, for every 50 posts you get one rep power. I am still not sure about rep other peeps give though.

So what your saying is that the points and rep power is given randomly to those you think are worthy. Sounds like a big favortism thing to me. I take it thats why some ppl that just got here have more than ppl that have been here longer. I see some who have three to four green blocks and same amount of points that other ppl have and they have only have one or two green blocks, lol! Makes alot of sence to me?

see my above posts


50 posts= 1 rep point

100 rep points given to you by others = one green karma bar


I also think that for every 50 rep points given to you by another member, you get on rep point of your own.
