The rep power is how many points you will give someone if you give them rep, for example if you were to give me rep I would get 22 points from you, if I was to give points to you, you would get 140 odd. The rep power is a combination of time on forums, post count and numer of times you have been given rep. The more rep power you have, the bigger effect you have on a persons rep points if you give them rep.

I hope that makes sense.

Cheers Gecko. The Rep Points was what I had no clue about. I was trying to work out averages and percentages of what each reveived rep is worth and was lost all over. But no I see how it works, and what Rep Power means.
I'll have a read through that thread, cheers for linking it Daz. I know what I'm doing tonight haha
