Reputation Power & Boxes
Rep Power = the amount of rep that you can give or take away from someone. Right now, if you can give one point to anyone, this value will increase as time and posts goes on. This is calculated based on the following:
For every 250 posts (OT posts do not count) = 1 additional rep power
Every 150 days of active membership = 1 additional rep power
For every 1,000 rep points (explanation below) = 1 additional rep power + 1 additional green box.
The box beside your rep power is an indication for users to tell if you are helpful user or not a helpful user. Since you are new, you are neutral, but this will change in time. When a user feels that your post is helpful they can click on the icon between the green light and red triangle, and give you rep.
Grey = neutral (or zero rep power if you see this in UserCP).
Red = negative feedback (Shameless behaviour!)
Green = positive feedback
Reputation Points
When a user gives you rep, the amount that is in their rep power is added to your reputation points (click on UserCP to see what rep was given to you). Rep points is basically the numerical amount of reputation that you have receive, and is located on the main page of UserCP. You will see a list of thread titles, green/grey/red boxes (explained below), User Name, and any comments that they might have left. Above the reputation given box, you'll see a number. Once you have accumulated 100 points, your rep power will increase by 1 and you'll receive an additional green box.
Everyone on the site is allowed to give rep five times to during a 24 hour period, but must be a different user. You can not give rep to the same user twice in the same day.
