How do the reputation points get calculated? I have 70 points but my Reputation has been added to only 27 times.
Is it weighted based on who gave the rep (if so how?), the number of replies in the thread the rep was recieved in or something else?
I had a look on the FAQ and couldn't find anything.

Sub Reputation() Dim Problem as Variant Dim Reputation as Integer For Each Problem in Forum.Threads If Problem.Title = "*[Solved]*" and Solver.Name = "Leon V (AW)" Then Reputation = Reputation + 1 Next Problem End Sub
some people add more than one reputation point. it depends if they like your nick name or avatar
Click on the star if you think I helped you
Each person has a "Rep Power", which is dependent on length of service, number of posts, title status (and number of rep points gained ??) - non-one seems to know exactly how it is calculated. So, when someone give you a rep, your score will increase by their rep power. A few longer-serving senior contributors have rep powers in the 20's, but most have between 5 and 15 (I would say, as a guess). There doesn't seem to be a way of finding out your own rep power, unless a fellow contributor tells you what their score is and you then rep them and see how much it has gone up by.
Hope this helps.

EDIT: further to the previous post, you are not allowed to rep the same person consecutively - i.e. you are encouraged to "spread it around"

Pete is correct. Each of us has varying rep power, so you'll always have more points than rep events. Is there something specific else you wanted, Leon?

No, I was just curiouse. It's an OCD thing. I will probebly spend the next month trying to figure out everyones rep power based on how my score increased in the past.
Here's your first chance!

I suppose it should also be pointed out that you can get negative rep if a poster clicks "Do not agree" in the dialogue box - these are shown with a red square in the list of reps you have received on your UserCP (positive reps are green). I don't know if this is just -1 added to your score, or if it is -(rep_power_of_disgruntled_poster).
Also, a poster has zero rep power until s/he makes their first post, so if someone reps you having read one of your posts but has not made any posts themselves, then your rep score will not change (and the rep will be shown with a grey box).
Oh!, the things you pick up just hanging around !!<bg>

Some time ago we did a "rep trade" where we would rep one and another to see how much rep power we had ('cause we don't know!). If I recall correctly, at that time I had a rep power of 4.
I would think that my power has increased since.
A few weeks ago an OP repped me. They had a few dozen posts and were a member since about 2004 and their rep power was about 10 if I recall correctly.
So, it would seem that your tenure is the biggest factor in your rep power.
Yes, I've noticed a similar thing. I suppose the rep power is 1 for every full year since joining plus some adjustment for number of posts, plus something for status level, plus maybe something else.

...and so many Excel questions bobbing in the wind....
I am puzzled that the Admins and Gurus do not have this type of info described somewhere. Who is running the forum? Who created the rules? Is that person still alive, is that person managing the forum from a prison cell?
Don't you have a user manual, at least for Admins? If all admins are not able to solve an issue, who do they address that request to?
Congratulations Tony it has increased since then..... By 1
Wooooooo!
Don't spend that all in the same place!
I wonder if it is a reference or a value? So if I give someone rep today, when my "rep power" goes up will their rep also go up?
No, I think it is just an accumulator - new rep is added onto existing rep which then become the existing rep. Can you imagine storing all the historical reps to take account of increases in rep power?
