Rep Power

[IL DUCE]

I just wanted to know what "rep power" means under my avitar?
Thanks

Rep points are given for every so many posts and from fellow forum members that think your posts have merit. If its not abused, it is a way to tell if someone knows beans or is just full of them.

It means you are now on the ballot in New Hampshire! Congrats!

or help folks out a lot in a few posts, then the rep power gets up there.

There are many posters with a few hundred posts or less that have a rep of 10. They obviously know their stuff.:rockon:

like Sswee there. 340 posts and a rep of 11? Danang!

Should also mention that if you turn out to be a douche bag the admins can lower your rep power points too.

[ctdemolay0405]

Yep. Pretty much any member can give another rep points, good or bad.

Thanks for the info.

I'm glad Il Duce asked first...... I thought maybe it had something to do with how many push ups I'd have to do on the quarter deck if I asked a newby question.

So the 'Rep Power' is pretty easy to understand and where the points come from makes sense. I recently looked at mine and I saw I had 67 Rep Points.

What is the difference between Rep Power and Rep Points?

Nothing like a bad case of "deck hands". Ouch. :D

[jfowl31]
