Rep Recognition

EDIT: I found a partial explanation in the sticky on Rep And Badges, but I find it hard to believe that everybody keeps checking that manually throughout the day.

Think again, because that's how they check it.

I'm guilty of not checking on a regular basis, I really should, note to self, check your rep received more often

So just to say thank you to anyone who's recently given me rep and I've not thanked you, sorry

I have noticed that I have received more that 45 points from some members.

Some people thank you for the reps given, some don't - they either do not know the routine or they do not check. That's the way it is.

I thought 45 points was the highest now. John had changed that from 50 a while ago.

It is a nice system, but one should not get too fuzzy about it. There are a lot of idiosyncrasies.

EDIT: It says "You reputation power 5 points" What does that mean?
If it means I received rep, how do I see who it is from?

that means that if you rep somebody, they get five points added to their 'score'.

more senior members can give up to 45. (i think)

if you've received rep, you'll see it a 'latest reputation received section', at the bottom of your usercp page.

I don't have a "Latest reputation received" section, so I am a Rep. virgin, hahah.

REP POWER = how many points you add to someone's rep, the higher your rep the more rep power you have (there is a maximum limit of 45 rep points at the moment).

To check who gave you rep, scroll to the very bottom of your user cp, you should see something like this: (person who gave rep is shown in red circle)

I'm still not too sure.
Could you rep me a few times, so i can see how it works?

Hahaha
