Negative rep comments and rep power.

[Twilly F. Sniper]

My rep power has been going down since I've received neg rep 3 times in the past week. Do rep pts. have anything to do with rep power?

You can view all information about the rep system here (http://www.virtualteen.org/forums/faq.php?faq=vb3_user_profile#faq_vb3_reputation).
Don’t get too worked up about it though, you don’t get any special privileges if you have a higher rep than others, and no administrative action is taken based on it.
If you feel that the rep system was abused, and you therefore received reputation from someone you shouldn't have, PM one of the admins, who will look into the case. But remember, just because someone may not agree with you, doesn't mean the rep was given unfairly.

But in short, the more rep points you get, the more your rep power increases.

StoppingTime summed it up very well. Rep power is nothing to worry about though, so dont stress it.

Rep power is pretty much just a button you can click to let a member know when you agree or disagree on a list or when a member is saying innaprpriate non related things
It doesn't define your membership or make you a bad member/ good member
so what you have neg. Rep. If you want to try and achieve positive rep. Think of what your saying before listing under peoples threads. Oh and also if you give out positive rep. You will sometimes receive it in return
