Rep points can be given by any member to another member. These points can be positive or negative, and usually reflect their opinion of a particular post, or sometimes the poster themselves.
I don't know what you did to get to -33 - I gotta say that's pretty bad, but somewhere along the line you must've attracted someone's attention in a negative way.
But don't worry about it too much. I think that as long as your posts are constructive or relevant they will quickly start heading in the other direction. Personally, I don't pay too much attention to my own rep points because these are a relatively new development here and I believe each member's own efforts here in the forums will properly reflect their reputation, or lack thereof.
By the way, in future, if you think you are being treated unfairly, don't play just to blow off steam - let the relevant people know and perhaps the issue will be solved. I find that when people do this (including me, btw), we typically play less carefully and end up blowing the lot.
