Well, I live in the state of Confusion anyway! At least I was partially correct! As I have watched my rep power increase, it seems to be directly related to my repping others. However, I did not take into consideration the post count nor the rep I have received.
I reread the first post of this thread and it does not seem to explain how the rep power is generated.
What is reputation -altering power as per Airbot's post ?
Edit : Looks like Kari has mentioned it already
When you give rep, your rep (altering) power determines how many rep points the receiver gets. However, after some extensive misuse of the rep system, John put a cap of 50 points, so all those members who have rep power 50+, can only give 50 points. Members with rep power less than 50 can rep with full power.
And that may be what I was seeing as I only check my CP once a day or sometimes every two days.I guess a staff member will have to clarify this further, I've never noticed mine go up from repping others, just from every 50 posts or from others giving me rep.
