rep power

[reefman069]

i was looking at my profile. i see there is a rep power. i have been a member from 2005 and i have a rep power of 0. how do you get rep power and what does it mean.

See the little star thing at the bottom of the posts... (blog this post, Star, caution).. click it. (not on your own post)

Also, there is a pretty recent thread that talks about it in the feedback forum. Nervously watching the game, or I'd find it for you.

we can change it back to zero for you if you want.

No way. Up up and away we go

so i still not clear on this. i went to one of my post. i put the mouse over the star. it says i have currently have 104 reputatio points but on my profile it says i have 52

 

[spieszak]

points aren't power. theres some algorithm with post count and posts per day and stuff like that.
i don't really think its worth much since i don't think most users look at it, and my understanding is that is what it was meant for.. so other users could kind of try to judge you experience level or whatever...
