> Update:
> 
> Slowly figuring stuff out.
> 
> All the new members are set to receive 10 points by default at sing up, and they will have a rep power of 1 at sign up, however all the imported users from the old forums were starting out with 0 rep, so 0 rep power as well.
> 
> What I’ve done is went through a thread and gave a base rating to every member in here, all of which I consider active members. That will give you a base line that’s higher then a new member and a bit of an advantage.
> 
> Some quick facts. (up for change if some items are undesirable)
> 
> You are set to give 10 reps a day max.  
> You have to give rep to 20 people before giving to the same person again, to prevent abuse.  
> Every 365 days on the forum increases your rep power.  
> Every 2000 posts increases your rep power.  
> Every 10 rep points (iirc) increases your rep power.
> 
> This is a good start and keep in mind nothing is set in stone.
> 
> Enjoy!

That is awesome! It’s just like the XP bar in an RPG 😮
