Can someone explain to me the new rep power system.

[Mac Attack]

Hey, I was searching around on the main boards while logged off and I came across someone complaining about the change in rep and rep power. I must have missed when the change occurred though.

I believe under the old system I was rep power 2 however now I have no clue so anyone explaining the switch would be appreciated.

Rep means nothing, earn your respect by being nice and gaining forum buddies.

I think rep power is the same as was, you just can't see it. I'm about 4 or 5 I reckon. You went up one every 750 posts or x amount of reputation you received, might be 750 as well. So because I'm over 750 posts that's +1, then another +4 for being over 3000 rep. So yeah, I think it's the same you just can't see it.

I I had the ability to rep this I would. I think you're spot on.

Yeah rep is pointless, its all about VIP room privileges.

Just keep trying dude, they'll let you out some day. You don't have to rep me, its basically just a pm system for me now. People leave me faces, and small messages of support on my weight loss. I'm not the most respected member, and I have been causing a stink lately. But when I see you post I try to post in your threads. Everyone else gets the rights to post and talk about the things we love here. I have no problem doing that with you.
