Are we no longer able to +1 rep people or did the procedure change?

I say turn it back on, it was fun trying to catch up with Karlos... I was only 1 away then he jumped up another point!!!

I have to reply to this thread just to see where my rep points are at the moment.  Scanning down the list of people replying here, I think almost all of them had less than their starting 10 rep points, so I wonder what all of you have been doing to each other's scores?  LOL

You are confusing reputation points with reputation power. The figure under your avatar is your reputation power, not your reputation point value.

sorry but i'm a bit "slow" lately ... from where it come from i.e. my 10 "reputation power"? from the count posts?

I think it's an initial value that is set. If everybody started at zero, and the only way to get reputation power was by receiving reputation from other people, the system would be pointless.

The reputation power is a function of your reputation score (and possibly other factors like post count), but it includes some initial non-zero starting point to make sure the system can actually be used.

No problem. It may seem a pretty confusing system at first but you soon get the hang of it.
