On top of the box it says "Latest Reputation Given (Reputation Power: 51)"
What is a "reputation power"? Does it make you stronger? Can those powers allow you to fly eventually? Do they go down with kryptonite? Inquisitive minds want to know!

We've updated the forums to the latest version of vBulletin that has some improvements to their built in reputation system. I'm still sorting it out, but in a nutshell, those with a higher reputation power give more rep than those with a lower one. Reputation power is gained as you have more reputation yourself, more posts and more activity on the forums.
It's in part a way to keep people from making new accounts and trying to alter reputation a lot with them. They won't do as much as an established forum account.

So Stomp's rep spamming of all of our posts will finally benefit him?
It's like he knew the entire time!

Yep. If I were to thank you, you'd recieve 70 pts instead of the normal two pts prior to the newest forum update.
Question: has the amount of points needed per green bar increased, or stayed the same? Otherwise, you'd have a lot of forumers at the green bar cap lol.
