Rep Power?

[H1_Roller]

What is this and how/why does it increase?

I notice mine is still 1 whereas someone else who has much less posts, has been thanked less, and given thanks less can have a higher rep power than me. Why? What does it mean? Is it meaningless?

Thank you for your time

Someone may have "given" them rep points...If someone has say, 10 rep points they can gift that many to you for a post they think is worthy, etc. I have 37 rep points and I just gifted them to you
Happy Easter!

I've just noticed the button at the bottom of posts "Add to this user's reputation..."

If I added to yours, would mine go to 0? I realize it's all irrelevant, I'm just trying to understand the system.

EDIT - I used it there and sort of get it now. Sort of.

Okay, had to dig back for these, but they should answer your questions...

I think rep power is based on several things, for example how long you have been a member, how many "thanks" you have, how many posts you have written etc. So a person who has been a member for some years, will probably have a higher rep power than a new member. But a newer "active" member will probably at some point get a higher rep power than an inactive "older" member.

Rep power is based on rep points. You will recieve +5 if a member "thanks" you, and you will recieve +5 if a member "adds to your reputation". You will recieve +1 rep power per 100( or 200?) rep points.

Maybe....I think...

Ok, I read through the Rep power information there and now I understand.

Thanks for the help

EDIT: Hmmm.. I just noticed a big jump in mine. I'm now "A jewel in the rough..."

I knew that anyway
