It's 1 rep power for each 60 days of stay, 1000 posts and 2000 reputation points.

I think there is a bit more to it than meets the eye. For example, I have been on this forum for less than 60 days, have less than 1000 posts and definitely very much less than 2000 reputation points, yet I have 1 rep power. Not that I am complaining because now I can give credit where it is due. I think the main point would be to concentrate on being active on this forum because there is so much to learn. Certainly beats surfing porn sites by a very long way. Post whenever you have something useful to say. And always give credit where it is due. Also if you feel like giving vent to your anger at someone's post, this is what I suggest.

Write it all down on a piece of paper. Use your strongest and most vitriolic language. Then burn that piece of paper and flush it down the toilet bowl where it properly belongs. I am serious. Da'wah requires patience, patience and more patience. Insha Allah.

30 days membership = ~0.5 rep power
127 posts = ~0.1 rep power
950 rep = ~0.5 rep power

Total = ~1 rep power

That's interesting. So when I reach my 60th day here I should get 2 rep power?

If you give them a negative rep which is by clicking the red rectangle,

red rectangle is actually to report a post to mods, not to give negative reps. You give negative reps by clicking the green rectangle and then tick on the disapprove option.

the person you neg rep, their rep power ultimately decreases.

It does not necessarily decrease rep power, but most certainly decrease the rep points. Some notorious people on this forum have negative rep points.

^Right, but when you rep someone does anything happen to your rep power?

Repping someone does not do anything to your rep points or your rep power. So it does neither increase nor decrease.
However, you only have a maximum number every 24 hours where you can give reps. I cannot remember how many. And you cannot rep someone twice before giving reps to a minimum number of other members.
 
x___X The calculus of IslamicBoard.

Is anyone else suspicious of Endymion for discreetly asking for reps? Isn't this an indirect way of asking for reps?

Kidding. :D
 
I can see that my question confused so many members to understand different aspects of the Power they have :D But the Most Important thing is that I understand it :D

Enough for me :D

Thank you all for your help :statisfie
