Good day, dears.
Today we are going to learn a bit about our wonderful system of charms and likes, our one and only reputation system, also known as the "Rep System".
What is rep?
Well, in some level I guess it is like the "Like" option of Facebook which allows you to give a personal feedback to the owner of a really good comment or even the maker of a good post in some thread, stating your mind about how good/funny/brilliant/well written that post was to be earned with "rep".
How do I rep?
Simple. By pressing the Icon of a "Sheriff star", a window will pop up with the option of adding more words into "why would you give this person a rep" and by pressing "OKAY" you are adding to that person's reputation points.

How can I view rep?
1. Press the option of "setting" at the top most part of the site.

The colors beside the rep?
As you can see from the image here, there are colors given next to each Rep.

Usually the blocks are green, but if they are dark squares it means that someone without enough rep power, for example, a new member, has repped you.
Reputation Points and Reputation Power
Reputation Points and Reputation Power are different things.
Reputation Points can be seen in your User CP.
Reputation Power can be seen beside each post, under your details.
Reputation Points is the amount of Reputation you have been given by other members. To begin with, every +100 gives you an extra box. Then it becomes every +200 and so on as you get higher up the ranks.
Reputation Power is the amount of Reputation you give to someone each time you Rep them. This goes up, for instance, every time you reach +1000 posts as well as with each green box addition.
This explains why Siks has a mega high Reputation Power (He has posted a heck loads) but may not have a mega high amount of Reputation Points in comparison to you (You having been Rep'd more by other members).
Also, moving your mouse over your user rep blocks (under your user name, near a post) will enable you to see a cool line of your rep achievement.

Final Words?
Also Guys just remember that giving rep is not only a good way to let others know that you approve of what they said but it is also a good way to let RPA as a whole know that that person is pretty awesome. So the next time you see a post the just makes you fall to the floor in laughter or a post in an IC that you think think is just incredible don't hesitate to rep them for it. It's like the saying goes what goes around comes around, and you are spread the love you will most definitely receive the love as well.
