I always wondered how your rep increased as well. I actually thought it may have something to do with how long you have been a member (but after seeing people who joined after me I threw out that notion). Thanks for clearing this up for me!Originally Posted by JLC
The only indication of another person's rep is the number of green boxes just above their avatar.
I don't know if that's possible or not...and our favorite tweaker is now getting his butt kicked at boot camp. But our rep power doesn't scale here as dramatically as it does at...say....Fauna. Most folks just have a 1-point "power"...with a few extra points that can be gained for really high post counts and high reps.
Even a fairly new member can have some rep power...but if they have LOST any points so that their rep falls below 10, they will have 0 power. So it's possible for a long-time member to have 0 rep power if their own rep is below 10. (Their green box doesn't turn red unless their rep drops really low)
Always happy to answer questions!
