    Oh, I never bothered to think about how the rep system actually works and I also never bothered about how much rep I'm receiving or distributing. So yeah, the whole system is in dire need of some transparency.

    Hi Jerron, you are a good example of a person with > 10,000 rep and 89 posts as of writing. I have seen your maps and they are truly excellent but let me explain the rep scoring system in detail for you and we can analyze how it breaks down:

    You start with 1 point of rep power. You get get another 1 for being a member for more than a year. You get an extra 1 more for every 1000 posts you make so you dont qualify for that at the moment. And you are at +2 now. Then you also get +1 per 100 rep that you have attained yourself - so you get an extra +100 ! So you are giving out +102 rep per hit when you add to someones reputation. Its that +100 bit that is a bit of a skew to the system and where I think I must do something about it.
