Question about "rep power"

[Sally888]

i never tried to figure this rep, candies, hearts, out,,,,,,,,

Asort of mod? Is that a type of chocolate?

I am just finding this thread confusing. I like to see my rep, I have yet to spend any candies, I just let it all "exist".

Easy for you to say... you've got a star!

I thought I was this close to a star, but I just keep getting more little coloured bar thingees. At this rate I'll never get a heart -- now I know how the Tin Man felt!

omg sally i just choked bc i did not expect to see something so silly posted omg i love u thanks for the laugh this morning LOL

[marcianne]

cause people like you more?

I think rep power is associated to number of posts. Hearts are dependent on reps.

From what I understand, rep power is associated with both number of posts and reps received.

Ah, no.

I think a rocket science degree is needed to figure it all out.

It's really confusing and inconsistent. I think a rocket science degree is needed indeed

I think I figured it out... maybe...

Seems to me that your rep power is your number of posts/10 and rounded up to the next number (no matter what the decimal would be).
i.e. 10,366 posts = 1037 rep power (10366/10 = 1036.6 rounded up to 1037)
or 8470 posts = 848 rep power (8470/10 = 847 rounded up to 848)

I think the number of reps received affects the stars/hearts you get. The more you receive the more you get. So your rep power will go up as you post, but you will only get hearts/stars etc as you receive rep from others.

Thanks laurac86. I'd give you rep for your reply but apparently I've given you too much for right now.

On a somewhat related note, I got my rep star! Look out rep heart, here I come!

[shaman2263]

Rep Power is based on your total # of posts. This is the # of rep points you give each time you rep someone

The hearts, stars and power bar is an indication of how much rep you have received. I have no idea what the levels are.

You can find the # on the Recent Rep Received page, right of the title. User CP/ User Control Panel... scroll down a little to the Last Rep Received

At the moment of this post SweetDeals has a Blue star and 2 green bars. I am going to give rep and see what happens. Nothing. On some of the newer posters I can change the meters with one rep! LOL

[elliott_gyal]

so rep numbers have changed, anyone else notice?

truck12trucks 'So now every rep I give to will help her get the heart faster...and then she can stop complaining!

Thanks Boo!'

gee, and i thought, boo had just given ME a big rep boast/boost.
but the hard truth of the matter is the rep change is just
so can get another heart,

(or is it to help some of us out with the swagbuck multiplier?)
