What is Rep Power on this BBS?

[Fusioninspace]

I know I have a number and I know people use it to judge others somehow. What does it mean, how does it go up or down, etc.???

I'm just plain-o ignorant about this thing.

rep power makes you gay. dont worry I just made you a little bit gayer.

Only stupid people use it to judge people. It doesn't have anything to do with what recording knowledge somebody has.

Here ya go....

BBS Rep is a character trait which describes a person who acts to gain values in an amount greater than that of the values he/she gives to others. This is usually accomplished by exploiting the altruism, irrationality, or ignorance of others — or by using coercive force and/or fraud.
