The number of times some one Rep+ you does not equal the number of rep you have. I can't remember but someone explained it a while back. Say since you have 300 posts your rep should be if you take the first number and add one which should be 4 (and it is). With mine, I have 1400 posts so my rep should be 15, which it is. The Rep+ button only protects you from negative rep (I think). If too many people give you negative rep, your rep number would go down but if you have positive rep, it balances out. This is just what I THINK that I remember. Whoever explained it might have said it differently. I bet Johnny could tell you how it works though.

I think you are correct.

I know La Chupafaggit explained it as every 50 posts you get 1 rep power and Rep +'s ONLY protected you from losing rep power and replenishing it from Rep -'s. But that didn't add up because I would have way more rep.

Also I believe it rounds your posts to the nearest hundred. So say my 4154 would bump up to 4200 and then you add one to the first numbers and you get my rep power which is 43.

yea it does (should) round up, I remember reading that when I was doing my VB forum a while back (now I use SMF or whatever it's called, I like it a lot better)

OH thats how it works so u need like 99,9500 posts to get 10k 100 rep?

[Firenoob]

In other words I should have 2 or one reps?

I think Zeus is right, When i hit 300 posts i got another rep power..but if you divide 300 by 50 it equals 6, not 5....and it says 5 for me.

The green bars represent how many rep points you have i think??

[Dubstepper]

well i only have 1 green bar and i have 51
