Just curious where this number comes from. Is it a secret board that evaluates each poster? Related to "thank yous"?

well at this moment i don't have a thanks button - just "Blog this Post' then the star icon, then the "report post" hazard icon
The hazard icon is pretty funny:
Note: This is ONLY to be used to report spam, advertising messages, and problematic (harassment, fighting, or rude) posts.
Star pals ? I just starred you
Works for me. But it should be a worthy post. (something I have few of!)
Just thought I would show ya it works.
No secret comittees !

Ok but back to the question...what IS rep power? As compared to people clicking on the thanks button? I know it is a separate statistic...just have no idea what it is for. So people click on it, it gives you more of it. Mmmkay. And this means what? Do I get some candy or something? A free combination earpick and cokespoon?
I always assumed it was something to do with penis size...
In vBulletin's Admin CP Options
under User Reputation options there are different settings that you can change.
Registration date: for every __ number of days they are registered, they gain 1 point, so what they can give goes up one point.
Post count: for every __ posts, they gain 1 point so what they can give to others goes up a point
Reputation: for every ___ rep received, they gain 1 point so what they can give to others goes up a point. <- so by you adding your 100 rep points to them, it increases according to what the __ is.
Rep power: How much power (points) the use gives when they give reputation.
Rep level: How much reputation points they have received from other users.

Whenever I click on the "reputation" star the window does not open properly. I just see the top margin of it but nothing else.
I've never used the star thing, I don't think you need to.
Clicking thanks gives reputation points anyway(for what it's worth).
I've tried to understand it, but it's still fucking confusing....
But here's a pretty good explanation....
By the way Light Em' Up!, I just gave you reputation, so if you follow the instructions in the How do I know what reputation I have received? section, you should see it....
--------------------------------------------------------------------
What is reputation?
Reputation is a way of rating users depending on the quality of their posts. If the administrators have enabled reputation, then the reputation icon will be visible in posts.
Reputation may be positive Positive Reputation Icon , negative Negative Reputation Icon or neutral Neutral Reputation Icon. Negative reputation may only be given if the administrator has enabled this. Neutral reputation is only given when the person giving reputation does not meet the criteria set by the administrator to affect someone else's reputation.
How do I give reputation?
To give reputation, click on the reputation icon in the relevant post. This will reveal a form to complete with the reputation type and the reason for giving the reputation. If negative reputation is disabled then it will not be displayed in this form. You may not give reputation for the same post twice.
How do I know what reputation I have received?
You can view the reputation that you have received in your User CP (User Control Panel) where it is displayed at the bottom of the User CP page. Here you will see the latest reputation that you have received and whether this is positive, negative or neutral. Your total reputation will be shown as series of reputation indicators in your posts and profile. The more positive your reputation, the more positive icons will be shown. The more negative your reputation the more negative icons will be shown.
How much reputation is given? What is reputation power?
If the administrator has enabled this, the amount of reputation that each user will give (or take away if negative) is shown in the user's posts as 'Reputation Power'. The value of the reputation power is determined by the administrator and may increase over time depending on the settings they have applied.
What if I don't want anyone to see my reputation?
You can disable the display of your reputation by going to your User CP and selecting Edit Options. On this page you will find a check box labelled 'Show Your Reputation Level'. Un-checking this box will remove the display of your reputation and replace it with the Reputation Disabled icon. You can still give and receive reputation while your reputation display is disabled.
Thanks VA Beach...I see that several have given me rep points...I'm still at a 2, so I guess I need more points before I move up in the world...thank you for taking the time to explain how it works...much appreciated. Also thanks for it being positive :-) I know sometimes I get off topic and get stuck just posting stupid twitter repeats during shows....

First of all I appreciate you posting the tweets and I'm sure everybody else does too! I hit you up on the rep too but I have no idea if it worked or not

Hmmm...never paid much attention to the whole rep thing.
Now, I'm almost always on tapatalk, so don't see it anyway!
