Hmm.. what exactly are reputation points used for? Is it like the opposite of reporting? If It's a stupid question, I apologize in advance.

If you get enough Reputation Points (300) from people saying your posts are good, you get a little "Quality Posts" label under your avatar. So people who make consistently good posts get a little image enhancement. It's kind of like A-spec points.

For every 365 days you are registered and for every 1000 posts you have you gain one point of reputation (and reputation altering power).
You can read more about the reputation system here.
As long as you have more than 300 reputation points, you will get the badge. If it drops under that from a string of bad ratings, it will dissappear. There is no other badge for any other ratings - you either have "Quality Posts" or you don't.

Der AltaYes, it's called the "report to moderator" buttonfeel free to use it liberally.
Actually, it's been a while since I last clicked the big exclamation mark. A sign of improving average post quality?
Jordan - Cool. I figured there'd be all sorts of funky, behind-the-scenes add-ons too. After all, if the site's getting better for members, it HAS to be getting easier (in terms of process) to manage too.
So. You going to take a holiday now?
I think you've done yourself proud.Diego440
I'd imagine that post quality - whilst previously unquantified - is a prerequisite of moderatorship...

I wondered the second one earlier.
Jordan doesn't want it to become a ranking competition between members - "My post quality is higher than yooooours". You can see your own (My GTPlanet, Edit Options) and you can see who has more than 300, but that's it.
It'd be nice to see how your vote affects someone's ranking points though, I think.
So I've got 16 (2 years and 14,000 posts) just for being me?
Curious what you mean by "reputation altering power" though. Does someone who gets a thumbs up from me get more points than if they get it from a newbie?

Oh yes, there are some wonderful new backend features!
No, Sage won't let me.
Yes, that's correct. You'll give someone 16 points of reputation, whereas a new user will only give 10. Presumably, you've seen a lot more posts and are better able to critique them. I would love to show you your own altering power, but I don't think vB has a variable for it.
I want ahead and gave it to all administrators, as they have already exceeded my qualifications for "Quality Posts". I would give the badge to all the moderators, too, but there was too many of them last night. They are free to edit their own profiles and give themselves 300 reputation points - me granting them their position is enough qualification.

but there is no way of knowing about it. as far as I can tell, I could get a bunch of people together, have us all give one person all our points for one day and then they would be much closer to being leveled up and then it would be the next persons turn the next day.
I could create another screen name and give myself points as well...

ermm.... come again?
I have 12 reputation points currently - so I understand that if I were to currently click the clicker on someone elses post that I grant them 12 reputation points.
But, lets say Famine were to approve of one of my posts, for example. Then I'd have 28 reputation points. If I were to then hit the checkmark for someone else, would I be giving them 28 points, or still my original 12?
If this is the case it only takes 1 nod from a top notch poster to attain that same status (hence my guess is that this is not the case).
Forgive me, it's late. Perhaps the answer is blatantly obvious or posted elsewhere. But the notion raised an eyebrow, or two, or three on this side of the monitor screen.
edit: nevermind. I read a little more closely with my good eye and noted that you specifically refered to this as reputation altering power, not reputation points.
