Rep points

[GadgetMaster]

I haven't filed this in Projects as it might just be a misunderstanding. On the User CP panel on the home page, my rep points are shown as 11. But if I actually go in to my profile, it says 27. Also, how do I find out how many rep points another user has?

Rep points and rep power are two different things.

The rep power influences how much of a difference your repping makes to others. i.e how many rep points they get from you

Rep power is based an a few different criteria such as post count, current rep points etc..

Thanks GM. So how do I see how many rep points other users have?

I don't think that feature is enabled. Is it really needed?

It's not needed, but it seems a bit pointless to have a system of rep points if you can't see how many people have, firstly to put your own in context, and secondly to see how reputable the community considers a particular user to be.

Now that you understand the way it works it might be an idea to open a feature request then.
