Reputation can be earned two ways. The first way is by posting. For every 25 posts you make (which includes topics and replies) you will earn 1 reputation power. The second way to earn reputation is to be rewarded with it. For every 100 reputation points you are given you will earn 1 reputation power.
Also the amount of rep you can give corresponds to your current reputation POWER. Do not get rep points and rep power confused. You can only give reputation ten times a day.
These are the maximum amount of rep points different types of users can give:
Non-gold member = 25 rep
Gold member = 50 rep
Section moderator = 75 rep
Global moderator & Admin = 100 rep
You can edit ^ in ACP
When you give someone reputation points you do not lose the points you have. The only way you can lose rep points is by being given negative rep. Rep should not be used as a currency, it should be a reward for doing something nice or making a helpful topic. Rep can also be decreased or reset in the ACP
Also if you get a rep power for posting and if your post gets deleted, you will still have the rep power, but instead of 25 posts to next power, it will be 26 because it got deleted. Another thing is that when you have posted 24 times, and when it goes to 1 post to earn a rep power. Then you make another post and it says 25 posts to next rep power. You won't get the rep power until you make another post, so it will be 24 posts until next rep power, and you will have your next rep power.
Rep power colors but you can change them in ACP:
To get to the next color you have to have five of the same colors and also if you hover of the rep it should say something, so for the first color it will say something, then the second color will say something and so on, you can change it in the ACP.
Also there is no Neutral rep. Only + and - and the - can be disabled in the ACP.
Guest can't view who gave you rep and other members can't view who gave you rep.
This is what you will see on your profile.
Edit: Also users will not be able to rep the same person after they just gave them rep until the user gives rep to a different user, then they can rep the first user again. And if they want to rep them again after the second time, they will have to do the same thing as I said above. Also they can only give rep to 10 users every 24 hours, and they don't stack.
