...I'm guessing that the more reputation points you earn, the higher the rep power is, but is there any benefit (other than looking good ) of having a high rep power?
I will be posting more info about it later this week as I have holidays. The rep power is the amount of points you give to a user when you give them a reputation, e.g. someone with a rep power of 2 will give 2 points while someone with a rep power of 6 gives 6 points.
