It would be a real chalenge to get most recent on every section ( not every thread) and to make them all on topic and relavent and interesting. Like this

Ok back on the subject.

You see when u receive rep points, it can vary from comment to comment, why is this? Ie sometimes you get 1 point or sometime more than that! How and whay is this. I would be extremely grateful if someone could tell me why! Thank you very much (in advance)

Different people, different points.
The more reps someone has, the more they give (or take).
The more posts they have made, the more they give (or take).

And that's about it.

And that's about it.

Just to confirm/clarify:
someone with lots of rep/posts will give/take more rep points than someone with less rep and/or fewer posts.
However I did hear talk that soon the number of posts someone has might not come into it anymore (but that would be for Franck to confirm or deny).
I believe, however, that the system is under an ongoing review at the moment (to be completed when Franck is satisfied) so the number of rep points people give will vary over the next few weeks/months while the creases are being ironed out of the system.
Good luck, Franck

Maybe it should be the more rep you have – the more the rep you give counts? Rep should in some way reflect what someone has contributed to the forum. Of course there are some ‘I’ll give them rep because I like them’ points, but even so it is probably a better reflection than sheer volume of posts as someone could make lots of posts without contributing that much to the forum community. Of course the most prolific posters on here do contribute to good discussions, make helpful comments etc.

Can't help but agree with that. Some of us do stick to the lighter weight contributions.

As Sparkles explained the reputation 'power' you have depends on a variety of factors:

Register Date Factor (For every X number of days, users gain 1 point of reputation-altering power).

Post Count Factor (For every X number of posts, users gain 1 point of reputation-altering power).

Reputation Point Factor (For every X points of reputation, users gain 1 point of reputation-altering power).

Maybe it should be the more rep you have – the more the rep you give counts? Rep should in some way reflect what someone has contributed to the forum.

In all 3 examples above, X is currently set at 180 days, 2000 posts and 50 reputation points. The X factor will change regularly, as I watch the system. If I feel for example that one factor is too influential. At the moment, the more rep you have (and the longer you have been on the Forum) the more reputation power you have.

It is also worth noting that whatever your reputation power, your reputation will count for nothing until you have made 20 posts, and your reputation is at least 10 (which is the starting level for everyone).
When giving negative reputation, you only deduct half of your current reputation power, so for example a positive rep from me might be worth 12 points, but a negative rep would only deduct 6 points.

I hope the above helps

X is currently set at 180 days, 2000 posts and 50 reputation points ...

.. so after only 67 more posts by Franck, rep from him is going to be REALLY valuable ...

[Gadget]

Ahhhhh....

[MartinHarper]

I understand that after giving someone negative rep you can't immediately give them more negative rep... but it's a shame that you can't give them positive rep either.

The current settings are there to avoid multiple rep abuse. As things stand:

Daily Reputation Clicks Limit (How many reputation clicks can a user give over each 24 hour period) = 12

Reputation User Spread (How many different users must you give reputation to before you can hit the same person again) = 5

So in theory, you could give the same person reputation twice a day provided you also found another 5 people to rep in between.
