Just a quick overview on how rep works. Your rep power is calculated based on how long you've been a member, how many posts you have, and how many reputation points you have been given. You can give rep to up to 10 posts in any given day and you must give rep to 5 others in between giving rep to the same person twice. To give rep you just click on the sheriff badge in the bottom left of the post, under their user info. Currently, on mods and myself can give negative rep but that may change in the future.

Eh, vCash because it's currently the only thing that can win you any tangible prize. "Shame" is the only thing that comes with negative rep.

so if someone has a rep power rating of 1 they have the same ability to give rep as someone with 10? seems if you're shitty enough that everyone hates you you should lose that privilege.

No, someone with rep power of 1 gives out 1 rep point. Someone with the rep power of 10 gives out 10 rep points.

Read the first post. You have more posts, so you have more rep power.

i guess my question wasn't worded good, but i meant did we start at 0 and every post from then on adds to your rep. what your saying is i have 4000 more posts than gardens35, so i started with a higher number than him.
