    As has been said, that never stopped me.

    Don't push it, sonny. As all the best adverts say, "your rep may go up or down."

    While the rep system is very important, I don't think the entire forum needs to know every time someone gets told to spread it.

    I would give you both some neg rep, but it says I have to not be such a mean old grumpy-bags.

    First of all, as was mentioned, the power you have in rep is connected to a range of factors:

    First point when you have posted a minimum of 10 times (before that, you can rep, but your power is zero). If your rep falls below 10, you also lose all rep power / ability.

    you also get extra rep points for the following:

    - every 360 days on registered the Forum.
    - every 2,000 posts.
    - every 250 points of rep you have.

    The number of time you can rep anyone isn't connected to your power. There are two simple rules that apply:

    - You can only give reputation (+ or -) 10 times a day.
    - You must rep another 6 different people before you can rep the same person again.

    That's it, no big secret or mystery.
    So using you example of having 10, how do we get to that

    I imagine he went to the box in the database where people's rep-power is stored, looked up his own record, and typed in 10.

    Only guessing, though.

    Could be - but I'm guessing it's something along the lines of "All Omnipotent Moderators have power 10".

    Could be, but I'm guessing it's something along the lines of "he edited his joining date to be ten years ago, waited till his rep went to 10, and then edited it back again".

    Only guessing though...

    Thing is, I'd expect any change like that to get overridden anytime the formula is recalculated. In particular, with the most recent change (500->250), everyone's power was recalculated to fit. But Franck's power still doesn't match the formula. Unless the formula has extra terms to do with being a moderator etc. (which is my bet).

    And why not? Franck has the power of life and death of the forum after all... I think he has been remarkably restrained actually, why stop at 10?

    Did I suggest Franck had done anything wrong? (Let's face it, would anybody suggest a man with power = 10 had done something wrong? ).

    Seriously, 10 points is already a pretty big dollup of rep; much more and it would really distort things. Despite all my feverish speculation on the formula , when it comes to normal repping, I'm not actually convinced it makes sense for some people to have much more power than others. (If Franck or Sheena actively decide to smite / honour someone with huge amounts of rep for some reason, that's an ass of another colour...)
