How Reputation works Q/A

So how does that convert to Bars next to your name?

I'm pretty sure it's every 100 points you get gives you a new bar. Everyone starts with 1 bar and 10 points. So when you get to 100 points, you get your second bar. 200 points gets your third and so on.

Your reputation power is more of a calculation of amount of time on the forum, your post total, reputation received etc etc. That doesn't affect your own personal bars, but it does influence how many points you give/take away from a user when you give them rep.

Is there anyway to see how much rep you give per post approved?

Look below your achievements in your posts. It shows you there what your current rep power is. Right now you have a Rep Power of 2.

Ah, I never noticed. Now I feel slow. Thanks for pointing out the obvious to me again Nick!

Don't feel so bad. It's not as obvious as it might seem. The appearance of the "Rep Power" is actually new with the forum upgrade Kc just installed. So up until about two/three weeks ago, you wouldn't be able to tell.

Ok, I feel a bit better now. Thanks.
