1. Everyone starts with 20 reputation points and reputation power of 0.
When a reputation score of 50 is reached, reputation power becomes 1.

2. If reputation points drop to 0 or less, moderation starts. However,
this is no reason to stop posting. The only difference is that there will be delay before your posts appear as they will have to be cleared from the moderation queue.
3. Number of posts have NO EFFECT on reputation power. However a min of 10 post is required to gain your 1st rep power
4. 1 point of reputation power is gained every
YEAR.
5. TWO Reputation click allowed every 24 hours so award those clicks only when necessary.
