Wow thats hard, I got 34 rep points but I will be celebrating 2 years on this forum soon.

No, you have at least one rep. That's why you have a single green bar. It goes in stages, read Kaspers post. I have... 10 rep points I guess for the first level?

Near as I can tell, you get a gray bar to start, it turns green after you receive your first rep. Additional bars come with each 100 pts of rep, so 2 bars = 100-199 pts, 3 bars = 200-299 pts, etc.

It is somewhat shocking to me that I'm in the top 40 of forum members for reputation, there are posters who have contributed far, far more than me who have less so I don't take someone's rep all that seriously. My observation is that a witty or funny post is more likely to receive rep than a helpful one.

Apparently I have 122 reputation points total. I don't know how that happened.

If you goto your profile, there is a whole tab that shows where you got Reputation from.

Apparently I've recieved rep from 15 people...

More than that. It only shows the last 15 people to rep you. Given that the maximum rep power is 5 and you have 122 points, at least 25 people have repped you, probably more. You're more popular than you think. :)

Edit: 2000 posts!

Oh. I thought it was an equation of given rep to number of posts to reputation received. Guess I was wrong.

Edit: Yeah I've looked at that page quite a bit actually. As well as the mod list. Which probably should be updated imo :I.

The link KasperVld posted describes how it works pretty well, here it is again: http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/threads/51861-Forum-feature-highlight-the-reputation-system

Another thing I've noticed is you can't rep someone repeatedly, the system enforces a wait period before you can rep the same person again. Which is good, some other forums I've been on end up with a "rep exchange" thread where the same few posters trade rep back and forth, making rep (more) meaningless.

This thread is quite old. Please consider starting a new thread rather than reviving this one.
