Greetings! How does your rep power grow? I see some people with different amount of their own reps and different amount of posts, and I see no pattern of how the rep power gets bigger.. Could someone clear this up for me please? I want to make my puny 1 a little more potent.. Not that it matters in the grander scheme of things 🙂 HM ---

If you drop below 10 you have 0 rep points until you get repped back up to 10. I suppose if you got negged down from 101 to 99 points, you’d lose rep power, too, though I haven’t noticed that happening. ---

Sorry, I don’t know - haven’t seen it happen before. Do their points go up when you rep them, and by how much? I wonder if maybe you just can’t neg-rep someone until you get 10 points back? ---

That’s your rep power. You can give an indefinate amount of reputation to people, but not the same person twice. You have to distribute enough points around before you can rep the same person again. I don’t think there is a limit on how many people you can rep in a set time period. I’ve given 5 people rep in one day at 4 points a pop. There were a lot of good posts that day. 🙂
